True. America is maybe one of the most car-centered nations in the world. LA in particular has a terrible type of density: too dense to have enough room for highways, but too sprawling for transit / bike infrastructure to work really well. There isn't one cookie cutter solution that works everywhere, which is why I tried to keep the ideas on the conceptual level. I do think it's possible: most of LA is flat (unless you're a rich mofo) and bike paths could be a great feeder for the subway stations. But it requires policy and forward-thinking investments, something that's easier said then done.There are substantial impediments to adoption, unfortunately.
