City Organization: Los Angeles vs. San Diego
I recently had a short conversation with a friend about the layout and organization of the city of San Diego compared to the layout of Los Angeles. My friend is of the opinion that San Diego is better organized than Los Angeles and expressed his view, part of a broader obsession that one reason Los Angeles is not layed out as well as San Diego is due to massive immigration, a reference to illegal Mexican immigration which is the broader obsession of this friend of mine. Unlike the humor of Seth MacFarlane post that has not yet gone anywhere, I will begin to put up posts on this topic as I research the issue and of Los Angeles' and San Diego's city planning and how immigration to both cities may have affected it. I will still probably be putting a few unrelated posts on this blog while working on the City Organization Series so if you do a search please look for the tags "City Organization", "LA vs San Diego"

it's not just illegal immigration. Los angeles gets alot of legal immigration as well, and with the relatively low level of propserity in Los Angeles, you get an almost 3rd-world nation living condition where the birth rate is very high.
My thesis was more along the lines of getting too big too fast.
