Why does Los Angeles exist?
Think about it:
- For most of our country's history it was nothing more than a small town out in the unsettled boondocks of the West Coast
- It wasn't a major port until relatively recently, when China and Japan began trading with us
- It has no other major natural resources
- It's in the middle of a [i]desert[/i]
And yet it has grown to be the second-largest city in the US, with over 17 million people. What caused such phenomenal growth in so short of a time? Thoughts?

Some cities, like Paris and Chicago and New Delhi have existed for much longer, and are still not as big. LA sprang out of nowhere in less than a century. What makes that particular patch of desert so special? Why is such a huge city located there?[/quote] I belive I already answered your question.
