Is this sarcasm? You can't be serious.

What does Spain share with CA?

Urban Spain is almost entirely dense multifamily, Urban CA is SFH, Spain is super-centralized, CA is sprawl, Spain is "poor", CA is rich, Spain has low car ownership and extreme gas prices, CA has high car ownership and low gas prices., Spain has extreme transit orientation and ridership, CA has minimal transit orientation and ridership.

They're basically polar opposites within the first world.
