  • Summary

  • Los Angeles is a city built on hills, but some roads here defy all logic — and physics. Today, we’re visiting one of LA’s steepest streets, where the pavement cracks, buses tilt, and gravity wins. Why was this road ever allowed to exist, and how does it affect the people who live around it?


    In this episode, we dive into the bizarre history of LA’s wild topography, city planning decisions gone wrong, and the engineering nightmares that followed. Strap in — this isn’t just a steep hill. It’s a full-on battle against nature itself.
