All these fractal diagrams show, incidentally, a city&#8217;s rough sprawl-to-core ratio, density, and size &#8212; at a glance. Below, London versus Los Angeles (winner: London).

&#8211; I leave a note for all my friends at the mall to let them know where I&#8217;m hanging out. All my friends in the area see it.
