Yes. This is an image of LA in 1887.

Right, cameras didn't exist back in 2001.

Yup, it's BS all right.

>>3071779
If they're trying to sell a history picture book on L.A, why would they post such a stupid image that so obviously disregards Historical legitimacy

yes that was because the entire city was based around surface streetcar lines, meaning everything had to be walkable. Most of this was ripped out in the 60s, and is still in the process of being rebuilt pic related

Yes, but isn't the whole LA Metro-Area a bunch of small towns that grew to the point of "fusing" with each other?

>>3072131

That's more or less how all modern American metropolises formed, due to both railroads and highways. LA was just the most notorious example.

Trump better build the wall ASAP, the first pic could perfectly be Mexico City or Bogotá if it wasn't for the english posters.

yeah a shitty image that skips the part where the entire area was taken over by blacks and turned into a literal warzone. Even Compton itself has cleaned up a lot due to the beaners. Fifty years ago most of urban LA looked like a warzone, today it's at least safe enough to walk around after dark

>>3072206
Wow, it's so nice to have a third world Bazaar so close to home

>>3072160
LA is more notorious because its constituent municipalities don't seem very well integrated compared to, for example, New York.

this is justice for colonialism. be happy that white people aren't actually getting what they deserve. if you don't like it, go back to pol

California was basically a bunch of fishing towns, hollywood, and farms until ww2.

Then ww2 and the cold war built up california.

then in the 90s the democrats gain control and turned it into the toxic shithole it is today.

Mexico has been independent of spain for almost as long as the USA. mexico then tried to go and conquer everything in the former Viceroyalty of Spain. Until the USA slapped them in the dick in 1848. Mexico has had a huge wealth of resources and year round farming. though it has all been squandered by the socialist party that has ruled mexico since the early 20th century.

That's how many areas in the US developed. Typically the anchor cities, LA/Chicago/Detroit in these regions would be the first to start utility services and would offer deals to surrounding areas in exchange for annexation. Smaller cities could try to make other deals to incorporate utilities without annexation, or even develop their own utilities, but that's usually more work. LA is famous for this because of an aqueduct that supplied water to the area

Also another major reason for growth is annexing farm land. This (almost always) would not be part of a distinct city but rather part of a township or whatever base-level municipality is in that area.

LA is great compared to the SF Bay Area. At least LA is all consolidated into one County, while the Bay Area is split into seven.

This is why LA will have an okay-tier mass transit network by 2020, while the Bay Area won't.

Why is San Diego so much nicer and cleaner than LA when its literally like 10 mins from the border?

LA is significantly larger than San Diego. Also, for every ounce of clean SD is Tijuana is two ounces pure shit. All of it is kept south of the wall.

LA wasn't anything before Americans arrived, although the post you're responding to is still /pol/ tier garbage.

Americans just need to fuck the Mexicans. Make a better race.

The Mexican Mafia and the gangs under their control are the most dangerous racist organization in America today, and nobody gives a fuck.

>annexing farm land

Is this a fundamentally stupid idea for any country in the long run? In Ontario, they've been allowing the Greater Toronto Area to devour some of the country's mildest and most productive farmland at an incredible rate. There's a greenbelt, but it's too small and development will just skip right over it. It just seems to me like urbanization should be restricted to infertile areas; farmland should be strictly protected as a strategic asset.

>>3077400
yes, it's incredibly short sighted and based on pure financial greed on the part of (((real-estate agents))) and (((developers))).
they're doing the same shit in richmond, just eating up prime farmland so Peng and his 30 relatives can live in a fuckoff huge mcmansion and store their monetary assets and porsches away from the long arm of the PRC.
