One of the strangest and most incomprehensible things about LA is the size of the houses. Apart from the business distinct which has its obligatory skyscrapers, LA is an unending suburb of bungalows and 2 storey houses. There are two things that puzzle me:
- The comparative size of the lots to the houses. House's seem to occupy as much as possible of the land leaving very little space for garden.
- Los Angeles houses (especially modern ones) are extremely wasteful. They comprise large rooms, multiple toilets and bathrooms, formal (little used) areas and they often run with constant air conditioning.
California is one of the birthplaces of the environmental movement and yet its largest city is setting a poor example in energy and land conservation.
I'm getting this short, due to continued jet-lag. Its 9PM and my head has already dropped onto my keyboard twice.
