RyansWorld: Los Angeles
From Future
Unlike its cousin in the eastern coast of North America, Los Angeles has always been more suitable for exploring inside an automobile instead of exploring the downtown through human feet. It will take a radical reconstruction of the entire metropolitan area by AI engineers in order to make the city walker-friendly from LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) to its suburban areas on the outskirts of the city proper. This method could take over 100 years and hundreds of billions of property tax money. However, tourism will increase thanks to its various sports teams (Los Angeles Kings, Los Angeles Galaxy, etc.)
Starting in the year 2000, the birth rate of Hispanic people has climbed rapidly in the city while the birth rate of Caucasian and black residents of Los Angeles have levelled off since the 1990s.
- In the year 2040, Hollywood will be cursed by the worldwide television ban but blessed by the rennaissance of motion pictures.
- By the 22nd century, it will take a billionaire (or 10 people) to even rent a typical apartment in Los Angeles. A million is not what it once was. The average person will have to live at least 150 miles away from Los Angeles - which will be ten times its current size - in order to have a middle class or minimum wage job in the city. Fortunately rapid transport into the city will make the commute much more bearable. It wouldn't be possible with old fashioned cars.
- As one of the cultural centers for Western civilization, Los Angeles will provide entertainment, nightlife, and romance. The Arnold Schwartznegger Gubernatorial Museum will be considered one of the most flashiest historical landmarks in Los Angeles by the year 2030.
People will also flock to Universal Studios, where the non-digital parts of Terminator 7 and Terminator 9 were shot and successfully received Academy awards, Golden Globe awards, and People's Choice awards for a clean sweep at the box office. Los Angeles will also provide the prototype franchises of a new, semi-formal Taco Bell. This new kind of franchise, similiar to the much successful Pizza Hut Bistro, transforms fast food for the adolescent crowd into wholesome cocktail food for the more mature crowd. By 2032, every Taco Bell in Los Angeles will operate on the "fine dining" model, abandoning long lines at a fast food counter in favor of waiters, hosts, maitre d's, and mandatory tipping (instead of not being allowed to tip).
