He doesn't use the term "disaster" but he does note that LA residents had the highest amount of transportation delays in the country.

He doesn't make a confident specific reason for LA's traffic problems, calling the reasons murky (actually its "murkier than they may seem", which doesn't automatically imply very murky if people think the reasons seem clear). He says its possible to make the case that LA's traffic problems stem from LA's underdeveloped "undersized freeway network".

He doesn't fully develop that argument, but he does reference his earlier posts showing that LA, while number 2 in the country in freeway miles, has less freeway lane miles per capita than any of the other 36 most populous cities in the country. (Which surprised me a bit, I always bought the standard picture that LA was loaded with tons of freeways).
