This is super cool. Seems to be quite laggy for me though, when the timeline reached 2026 and stopped, buildings still kept popping in for the next 30 seconds.

What is that huge gap near Venice?

The obvious next step here is to do LA county, since so much sits outside the city limits.

Very cool, but I think it'd be even better if the new buildings popped up rather than faded in.

SF version would be quite boring

wild to see that, reminds me vaguely of the amazing ariel photos by kite of San Francisco after the earthquakes in 1906

early 1900s to early 2000s was a wild and crazy ride for humanity

when I was a teenager I used to run early morning before sunrise and I would never see a car, like maybe once per hour

but these days it's like rush hour at 5am which is frustrating and annoying

and then I realized in perspective that within my own lifetime from teen to 60 the world population has more than DOUBLED, so what I am experiencing makes some sense in that regard (plus technology advancement)

Is this actually representing homeless encampments?

Like mould growing in a Petri dish.

it's amazing
