It's 125 miles from LAX to San Diego which is exact same as London to Birmingham at 128 miles, plus there's no huge undeveloped tracts of land anywhere near the population center in SoCal any longer to build a replacement airport for LAX.
@@mrxman581a system no one uses unless they must, it’s full of crazed homeless and criminals. Assaults, stabbings, and other serious crimes are commonplace on the metro, that’s why no one uses it.
Tom Bradley, former mayor. Burbank, Long Beach, and John Wayne (Orange County) airports all serve the Greater Los Angeles area. San Diego is 125 miles away and San Jose is 350 miles away.
Yes, traffic can be rough if you do’t plan ahead. I have never had issues picking up or dropping off family. Glad its getting a well deserved update. By the way, upon arrival if able, visit the In N Out located at the end of the runway. You will get awesome. Views or the flying giants and a great burger!
My grandfather was a civil engineer for LA County and helped design their first freeway system. There is a second airport in LA, it's John Wayne airport in Ontario, Ca. BTW San Jose is like 300 miles north of LA near SF. They can't build a new airport because there is no space for one.
@@stevenmassel259 Gee, sorry, I flew out of Ontario, Ca once and thought it was named John Wayne. And yes I know they are separate, I was making that point that there are more than just LAX in LA.
@LancerX916 , You forgot Burbank and Long Beach Airports. LA Airport and Orange County are the only 2 with direct International flights. LA Metro Area is massive. 560 square miles, 5 Counties, and 21 million residents.
You have L.A. airport ,Orange County airport , Burbank airport, Riverside airport ,and Palm Spring , and San Diego airport ,which are all located in Southern California.
There’s already Lax. Long Beach. Orange County. And Ontario. 4 regional airports. The problem with Lax is the layout. It’s a horseshoe . So you can’t drive from gate 1 to 4 without driving the whole way along the horseshoe. That also means you can’t get from gate 1 to gate 4 except walking all the way from 1 to 4 including passing through the international terminal 2. Which you can imagine is a pain. And there’s no train. But!the train is coming. Which means you don’t Have to drive you can take the train to LAX! Everything else is a nice improvement but improving the traffic flow would make all the difference. That means you can drop people at the train station and they can hop the train to the airport. Trust me , it makes all the difference not having to drive.
The 1984 Games were aided by the fact that local residents or those from the suburbs just avoided LA during the games. I lived the Pomona valley area at that time and had no problem getting to the stadium for the track events. Also many competitions were moved out of the LA area. The concerns of traffic were mitigated by how the organizers spread the games out of LA.
There is a smaller airport in Ontario, California. I had to land there when visiting relatives in Highland. It’s so far from LA by east coast standards.
Depending on when you're going down The Ravens and Bengals play Thursday night football in Baltimore who just did a 400 million dollar renovation on their stadium. Great place to catch a game. Only an hour and a half drive from Jersey. Should definitely try to catch that. Night games in the NFL are epic. Lamar Jackson Vs Joe Burrow.
Daz, San Diego and San Jose are over a hundred miles away from LA county. Building a new airport to replace LAX? Best case you'd maybe be looking at something around Inland Empire maybe by Riverside and there's still nothing. All of the important flat land is taken within like 120 mile radius that would have any whiff of freeway access. It's completely impossible, and the price tag if some unicorn land came out of nowhere it would easily 5x the price tag on this project.
9-11 screwed everything up. Used to be able to get in and out fairly quickly but after 9-11 with all the extra security measures, there isn't room for the people. It eliminated any kind of flow. You didn't have to be there hours early and then loiter for 2 hours.
I believe LA gets a semi-final game and 7 others. Many still argue that the final should be in LA since LA is the premier soccer city in the USA. It has two MLS teams, and both have been MLS champions. It's a great rivalry between the Galaxy and the LAFC. Both teams also have their own properly built stadiums, specifically for soccer.
There are 3 other big airports in the Los Angeles area. Burbank Airport in the. valley, Ontario International in East L.A. area and John Wayne Airport in Orange County.
Philly in October!! Phillies in the postseason, Eagles 🦅 - a real team, unlike the Giants 😂 -, Sixers & Flyers all in the same large parking lot! Great tailgating too!!
This "Loes AngeLEEZ" crap has been getting on my nerves. It's "LES", not "LEEZ". Obviously, there;s the issue of "Ahn-He-Less", but one thing at a time.
I thought I was the only one. Brits like to change the pronunciation of names for no reason at all. Daz always says "taking the piss" not "taking the peez" so they are quite capable of pronouncing it correctly It's like when they say MacDonald's instead of McDonald's. There's no reason for it.
True, it also has the biggest population with the most ideal weather for living outside, homeless people will travel to California to be there permanently just for the weather, I’m serious.
@@Trippyisopa significant portion of the homeless population are actually from California. There’s a massive housing crisis and the crooked politicians only line their own pockets
Yes, the LA area has seen several expensive sport venues built, but they have all been built by private owners. No public funds went into building them. So they don't affect funding in any way for the homeless issue. Oh, and when it comes to spending money on the homeless, California has spent $27 BILLION DOLLARS SINCE 2017!!!
I hate LAX, Daz there is nowhere near to it that is not full of homes and businesses. I agree that the workers there are not the nicest The new airport will not do much for the homeless and crime in the area. Burbank or John Wayne are the ones I fly into. Tom Bradley was a mayor for a long time and the 1st black mayor of the city.
Why don’t you share with the people the two “major” destinations in that first phase of HSR? Or how the cost to connect those two “major” destinations is over $100 billion, or how funding doesn’t exist to connect the train to S.F. or LA. For anyone reading this, the two cities this colossal joke HSR connect is Merced, a relatively small agricultural town, to Bakersfield, a mid sized agriculture based city, in the Central Valley of California. The train doesn’t come anywhere close to the major population centers. The privately owned and operated brighline-west will connect the inland empire to Las Vegas with HSR before the state HSR scam will ever carry a single passenger.
What a disgusting world we live in, where we can justify spending that much money in an area for the Olympics, but not help fix the homeless problem in the area?
@@mrxman581 On what, exactly though? That money isn't being spent correctly. Homelessness during that same time period has increased. I'd also be interested to know what percentage of that # is from hospital visits and inflated rates that are charged to insurance companies.
Tom Bradley was the Mayor of LA for a lot of years because he was will liked. He was also the mayor at the time of the 1984 LA Olympic games.

Tom Bradley was also a huge supporter of establishing and building the LA Metro system we have today. A system that continues to expand.

Also Ontario International Airport

Great tip for a first timer to checkout In n Out at LAX.

John Wayne airport is located in Orange County and not in Ontario. Ontario Airport is separate of LAX, and John Wayne.

Do you mean Ontario? Riverside doesn't have commercial flights anymore
And Long Beach
Tom Bradley was the first Black mayor of Los Angeles from 1973 to 1993. LA hosted the 1984 Summer Olympic Games while he was mayor.

Eminent domain to build roads, highways, expanding airports, Dodgers Stadium… That’s usually how we build our infrastructure in the U.S.
There is a smaller airport in Ontario, California. I had to land there when visiting relatives in Highland. It’s so far from LA by east coast standards.

This video didn't do a really good job showing some of the improvements. A lot of the international terminal is already complete and looks great

The rental car center will help greatly. They have that at the Atlanta airport and its great.

LAX is on the outskirts already so this is the only option
To keep your sanity it's best just to do San Diego airport. 😂
CA spent billions of dollars on a high-speed rail, but nothing was built. I am confident they will get this one right. 😂

sports. the olympics also seem to have sports in them

They will never do it. Los Angeles is a dying city, losing population.
Hahaha... it's already happening. Many of the LAX projects are already finished. Get a clue.
