Aztec City Design Flaws Comparison

The Aztec city of Tenochtitlan was built on a lake that had undrinkable water.  Since Tenochtitlan was on a island if someone was to invade they could cut off water supplies on the bridge and surround the city with nothing coming out and nothing going in.  Tenochtitlan fell for that exact reason the Spaniards came and cut off the water supply and surrounded the city.  Hernando Cortes and his crew of 600 men (including Hernando) took down the empire that the Aztecs had built .  Hernando Cortes and his crew killed 6000 Aztecs.

LA has some flaws in city design.  The roads are in weird shapes and they have many twists and turns an can get stuck or jammed.  I think that we should have underground roads that lead to a central point if an attack were to happen so people would have safety and other people could arm themselves to fight.
