Even Los Angeles itself is featured in the exhibition, as a city of Disneyland monorails, with a temperate climate and serene suburbs, but that is also plagued by the gridlock of freeways and urban planning dominated by pavement.

|
|
It's one of the reasons I decided to focus on the Interstate Highway System and freeways and turnpikes—there's not much romance there when compared to the back roads and scenic two-lane highways that once dominated our culture.
|

I'm about to reach this tangle of intersecting freeways, and about a mile before, I see the light bar in the top of the steering wheel go from green to red, and feel a sharp buzz in my chair.

Ubiquitous cars and newly developed freeways meant that you could drive across town about as quickly as you can today (maybe faster at rush hour), and newly invented passenger jets could fly from New York to Los Angeles in five hours.
|

Although autonomous cars are likely to carry passengers or cargo in limited areas during the next three to five years, experts say it will take many years before robotaxis can coexist with human-piloted vehicles on most side streets, boulevards and freeways.

Stefan Seltz-Axmacher, Starsky's 27-year-old chief executive, foresees using self-driving technology to replace long-haul drivers on freeways, but having people like Mr. Runions navigate at either end of the trip with remote control consoles that look like an arcade racing game.

Perched on a bluff overlooking downtown and separated by the Los Angeles River, Boyle Heights, a neighborhood of about 100,000 residents, has long suffered from a host of land-use inequities, including its proximity to polluting freeways that decimated housing and sliced the community's largest park in half.
|
|
Well if they don't take offense to the startling homeless problem, the woeful lack of public oversight when it comes to the Los Angeles Police Department or the constant gridlock on the L.A. freeways, I guess that only leaves Trump's racism and misogyny to be concerned about right?
|

Beachfront hotels (like the Ilikai of Hawaii Five-O fame), shopping malls, luxury high-rises, power plants, military training centers, freeways, and even telescopes went up—drawing ire from native residents and environmentalists, and leading to the oft-repeated joke that Hawaii's state bird is the construction crane.

Freeways' developer Justin Smith is known for making funny games with absurd premises, including Desert Golfing, a 2D golf game that goes on seemingly ad infinitum, only to have the game come to a screeching halt at the 64,465 hole with a moat that is impossible to hit your ball across.

As exhausted as I am angry, I've gotten used to seeing the almost C.G.I.-looking photos that appear from around the state, numb to the dystopian desolation and the towering flames that continue to dance along several major freeways, the strewn tires, skeletons of people's homes, decimated forests and abandoned animals.

As Brent Toderian, a former Vancouver chief planner (who I interviewed at length in June), explains in the film, the city's success traces all the way back to the 1960s and '70s, when the extraordinarily prescient citizens of Vancouver rejected a plan to build a network of urban freeways through the city.
|

Orange County doesn't offer a sense of place so much as a sense of placelessness, and if it weren't for the consistently balmy weather, much of it, with its six-lane freeways and big-box stores and strip malls and, yes, Panera Breads, could just as soon be in Illinois or Texas.

Despite millions of Americans complaining they can't find work, there is plenty of work for those willing to do the jobs — to roof houses in 110-degree heat in Phoenix or Las Vegas or in Houston's stifling humidity, or standing on sunny California freeways waving red construction flags for $85033 an hour.
|

Rather than straightforward captures of well-known buildings, these are almost like vintage Instagrams, capturing the vernacular of the time to reveal subtle aspects of urban infrastructure: open-air hot dog counters; freeways lined with palm trees; surfers and cyclists sharing the streets; branded benches; and experimental architecture, from inflatables to mobile residences.

None of the fires are more than 15-percent contained, and according to the New York Times, the blazes have ravaged more than 153 structures, including homes and businesses, and city officials have closed some routes along the 101 and 405 freeways that have led to massive gridlock as thousands of families evacuate the area.
|

As cities that are job centers make it hard or impossible to build housing — for example, through de facto bans on apartment buildings in areas zoned for single-family homes — people who are priced out move further away, resulting in sprawl that covers up farmland and open space, clogs freeways and increases greenhouse gas emissions.
|

I think it's a fundamental mistake we make a lot, which is if you go back to the era of advances in car transportation and rocket transportation and all the rest, there are projections of 200-mile-per-hour freeways, and literally rocket ships that were capable of going to the stars in this kind of time frame.

West Hollywood, its own city as of 1984, is the tony epicenter of Los Angeles' LGBTQ culture; North Hollywood, wedged between the 5, 134, and 170 freeways in the San Fernando Valley, is an annex for television and film industry workers; and Hollywood, whose luxurious hillside estates are concealed by forbidding security gates, is a chintzy tourist-trap.
|

That means less complexity, less potential to affect surface structure and easier construction, enabling things like short undercut routes that bypass busy freeways currently clogged with traffic – some of which just happens to be using the same route as others headed to the same concentrated focal point, like an airport, even if they're going somewhere else entirely.
|

The traffic will be murder tonight wherever you're going: over the Bourne Bridge to Cape Cod same as down the Jersey Shore, along the Long Island Expressway, out toward Rehoboth Beach from the District, along all the Peachtrees in Atlanta, the roads west out of Chicago, the freeways of Los Angeles, everywhere Americans drive in pursuit of leisure.

Another operator at Van Nuys Airport, where the company is based, said none of the charter operators there have gone to the trouble and expense of winning certification for instrument flight, in part because it is normally so simple to navigate at low altitude in Southern California, with its easy-to-follow freeways and sunny weather.

Oakland, California, has drafted an Energy and Climate Action Plan that includes some of the country's most ambitious goals—a 36 percent greenhouse gas reduction from 2005 levels by 2020 and an 83 percent reduction by 2050—by engaging grassroots groups and reaching out to the communities most affected by emissions coming from freeways, ports, airports, and rail yards.

Instead of buying a Craftsman bungalow with a backyard in an up-and-coming residential neighborhood like East Nashville, Ms. Turner and Mr. Ezell paid $1.1 million for a mixed-use two-story, white-brick house in Rutledge Hill, a nowhere land of industrial buildings and crisscrossing freeways a short walk from downtown and the famous honky-tonks on Lower Broadway.

"We're protecting people's lungs, their health by cutting out a poisonous chemical that comes out of diesel trucks," Brown said at a signing ceremony in the Los Angeles suburb of Long Beach, where trucks at the nation's largest port complex spew particulate matter, including black carbon, along clogged freeways, contributing to high rates of asthma and other conditions in some of the region's poorest areas.

The pieces in the show "seem to take place somewhere high above the city looking down on its mazes of freeways and wide streets; it's energetic, gestural and free-feeling much like the city itself," says Stephen Zeigler, who founded These Days with his wife, Jodi, in a 1887 building downtown that has had various histories as a piano shop, a headquarters of a youth communist group and a flophouse.
