Have you been to Los Angeles? It's not so much that it was poorly designed as it is that it just never stopped growing. Los Angeles county is 4753 square miles.

Yeah, I went on a road trip a long time ago. I remember it was almost all highway with tons of cars without a good public transport system. They knew they were growing and could have held off the heavy traffic with commuter trains and a substantial public transport system.

Sure there's a system already in place in LA, though I'm sure there's room for improvement.
