Weekend Edition: Need Some Room? Move to New York
From the Washington Post:
The urbanized area in and around Los Angeles has become the most densely populated place in the continental United States, according to the Census Bureau. Its density is 25 percent higher than that of New York, twice that of Washington and four times that of Atlanta, as measured by residents per square mile of urban land.
And Los Angeles grows more crowded every year, adding residents faster than it adds land, while most metropolitan areas in the Northeast, Midwest and South march in the opposite direction.
…Ten municipalities in the nation average more than four people per household — and nine of them are in greater Los Angeles, according to the Census Bureau.
Sprawl, traffic, and crowding! The California dream … alive and well?
