So like bashing of LA aside, how would you guys (in good faith) fix or amend the layout, because the giant urban sprawl you see is like several dozen cities put together
Orbital artillery strikes Increase the city's density by building high-rises and have people concentrate there, mass transit by way of trams, buses and trolleys (while also increasing their frequency to 5-10 minute intervals), either reduce the size of the city size (and grow nature in the free space) or utilize it for industrial areas and higher-density pockets.

DECOMMODIFICATION OF HOUSING - "Maoist execution of landlords"
My dream Los Angeles would be every downtown core area in the LA Valley be super dense and entirely walkable areas, separated by giant greenbelts of indigenous plantlife used for hiking and to make clean air, all connected by trams
Los Angeles has the ability to retrofit almost any building to be safe against earthquakes and we have skyscrapers here anyways that are good with earthquakes.
LA would be fine if they brought back streetcars and actually developed the metro. The "cool" parts of Los Angeles and a lot of the working class suburbs and satellite cities are actually a great example of reasonably dense urban planning.
Move people out of the city center, replace 1 story buildings with 4+ story ones, shops on the ground floor apartments above, make the apartments public housing to move the people back in and repeat with the next block.
The hard part is politics, and I have no idea what to do about those.
I would also recommend leafy public squares (california oaks, citrus trees, etc.) for people to congregate and the inclusion of more stuff to do that doesn't require money to participate. Get people talking and meeting eachother again
idk but can we raze Beverley Hills (except for the really good pizza restaurant by the museum of dream space I'll die for it and I don't even live in LA)
Make Berverly Hills accessible to all, retrofit the mansions into shared living spaces where people can live communally and turn those acres of lawns into permaculture gardens

don't they not build things high because of the earthquakes?

Its all property development bullshit.
