Under Construction
One of the great contrasts between LA (where I am at the moment) and Dallas is how long it takes to build anything in Los Angeles. I'm not talking about the years and years it takes to get permission to build but the actual construction time once you've got approvals. Whether public or private, construction projects here drag on endlessly. Why, I have no idea. There do seem to be a lot fewer people working on any given project, and sometimes no one at all.
