LA is much flatter than SF. Although some live in the canyons and on the hills, most live on a single plain -- well, two plains if you count the San Fernando Valley as a separate plain.

LA at large may be flat but hello, the Santa Monica Mountains run directly through it. The trains that used to go through LA went all through the hills. The tunnels are still in many of them.

The Angel's Flight Train is still there.

The worlds oldest Freeway, the 110 goes through a valley.

The 5, 101, 10 and 60 wrap around all kinds of hills within a few miles of downtown LA.
