You can check how it works in Amsterdam

Unless you can import Amsterdam's weather and geography, it's not relevant to dissimilar locations.

A city like LA has the perfect weather and geography for being virtually car-free. I don't think that's the issue... (I've also visited cities that would seem to be poorly suited weather/geography-wise for extensive use of walking/bicycles etc., but it happens anyway: Hamburg is notoriously rainy and windy for much of the year but something like 75% of transportation is car-free, and SF is frequently ranked as one of the US's most bike-friendly cities, despite its hilly terrain. There are even papers written about it: https://journals.sagepub.com/eprint/AT4RRDTCGMVF3TJJHUJK/ful...)

Good thing that people from Helsinki didn't knew that they have to import NL weather to have good bike infra
