Kurt I know you live in NY now, but c'mon! I was disappointed to here two tired myths perpetuated in this segment: 1) you must have a car to live in LA, and 2) LA was built around the car and is the only major American city to have been designed so.

First, scores of working class families and young urban environmentalists manage to live in LA without cars. LA has one of the busiest public transportation systems in the country and a bike movement that is growing strong.

Secondly, LA was first designed around the extensive Red Car trolley system that is what originally encouraged LA's multiple cores and commuting. True, those lines were dismantled and highways built under pressure from the auto industry, but that is not what started the sprawl. And the only major American city to be designed thus? What about Atlanta, Houston, Detroit, Miami, Vegas?

I enjoy the show and certainly there is quite the car culture in LA, but please try to allow for a little complexity!
