Inefficiency leads to interesting situations.

Inefficiency leads to interesting situations.

For example a car chase. A car has so much power and energy for the everyday mundane tasks it has too. It has the capacity to do much more, such as a car chase. Hence car chases commence. On the other hand, a bike is maximum efficiency, the most energy efficient method of transportation known to the world. And the motor that powers it has a more limited range that it's everyday tasks fit into quite nicely. A bike chase would not be nearly as entertaining, if even possible.

Same thing with the suburbia of LA. Though I don't know how to even divulge into the interesting side effects of sprawl.
