There aren't any bridges in LA. I mean none like the Bay Bridge or Golden Gate Bridge.

Huh? You haven’t heard of the San Fernando Bay Bridge?! It crosses the LA river in Van Nuys.

Actually, no. But you missed this part of my comment: "I mean none like the Bay Bridge or Golden Gate Bridge".

Those are bridges. There are two more in SF Bay as well.

Nothing in LA even approaches any of the SF Bay bridges in their lengths or importance for traffic and commerce.

The Vincent Thomas bridge, although not quite the size of the Golden Gate, is no small bridge:

It's also known as the bridge to nowhere" since it takes you to terminal island. If IT went down, it could do havac to ship traffic, but vehicular traffic can get around via two other bridges.

But the Golden gate would be more devasting to moral and commerce than the Vincent Thomas, and the Coronado would cause the Coronadoans (?) to have to resort to ferry's but no real commerce or moral damage. Not like the Golden Gate.
