No, what I said was Carson City & the rest of the LA Basin is just as flat as Houston, which it is.
I never compared city density to the suburbs.
I compared city to city density figures, chief.
Carson "City" is not in LA. That is what I was saying. Carson is more of a suburb of Long Beach than Los Angeles. I was wrong though, Carson's density is about 4k, so it isn't denser than Houston.
In 50 years half of Houston will be under water due to the rise in sea levels from global warming. Fortunately most of the LA basin is 100-300 feet above sea level.
Just trying to battle ridiculous assertions with other ridiculous assertions.
This shows the chasm between the two cities. The equivalent area around DTLA would be approaching at least 14k but is more likely close to 16-18k
But good to hear they are adding density in the city limits. It seems like every city is trying to get on that trend, which is definitely a good thing.
Huge difference. Correct me if I'm wrong but most of LA's general built area was just before the auto era, right? Because Houston's greatest growth happened after WW2. In 1950, LA had a population of just under 2 million. Houston at the same time was at 596,000. Texans never truly embraced density especially when the freeway system was built. Still, I think Houston is starting to embrace higher density. I actually believe the inner loop can reach 10k in 20-30 years.

Just glancing at a satellite view of the two cities shows how much more crammed in the lots are in LA vs. Houston. There are even large empty lots that look like they have been that way for a while in Houston, not as much in LA.

How can Long Beach have any suburbs when its a suburb of LA itself?
I don't view Paul as that dangerous...Ringo on the other hand...
Always the drummers...
Watch out for Animal from the muppets too
