>>1920669And do you know why LA's population increases? It is not by building up the downtown core but instead by adding highway-reliant single-family homes on the periphery of the county-sized city. The Miami metro, in comparison, has nearly twice the area density of LA's metro and a downtown larger than LA despite having millions less in population. LA's downtown skyline has barely changed in 50 years while Miami looks like an entirely different city.
>>1920731Not once was the term death spiral or anything like it used. Nobody claimed cities become extinct. The fact you seethe over is that highway's depopulate the urban core.
>>1921027Of course these cities have growing populations when they're the size of literal counties that have their suburbs within city limits. The argument is that prioritizing highways as the main form of suburbanite transportation helps destroy the urban core, which is true.
In conclusion, all 3 of you are retards who look at a graph with increasing metro population and somehow conclude the urban core's population does not suffer from sprawling suburbs of car dependency.
