Within its urbanized areas, Los Angeles is noted for small lot sizes, low vacancy rates, and general lack of large exurban spreads.

Los Angeles became a major city just as the <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Electric_Railway" class="mw-redirect" title="Pacific Electric Railway">Pacific Electric Railway</a> spread population to smaller cities much as interurbans did in East Coast cities.
