NYC is a subway and walking city, with crowded trains and sidewalks. It's also a city of apartment dwellers, who must share elevators and common areas in buildings. It's a mess when it comes to epidemics.

Los Angeles is exactly the opposite, with people traveling from home to work in cars, typically with just one person in them. People in that area tend to live in houses, although there are tons of apartments buildings there, too.

Good points!
