I am familiar with La Mirada, which is not a suburb of Los Angeles. Would be awful to have what the article describes. Instead, most of the residential neighborhoods there and in other parts of Orange County, which are dominated by single-family homes, should be demolished and replaced with apartment buildings.

Living in a place where you can just walk for 10 minutes to get to a coffee shop or grocery store, but still have the option to drive, is a joy.

There are a fair number of neighborhoods in actual Los Angeles that are like this. But there are not enough.
