How does a skyline view of a bigger city than new orleans mean that its a better urban fabric. What about street level, you know, where it actually matters.
Eh you could post a bunch of pictures at street-level of Los Angeles and it would look pretty impressive too. The areas in the pictures are just as built-up and actually much more dense (pop. and amenities) than anything in New Orleans. But NO is more consistently attractive looking, and is definitely a walking-era city. But Los Angeles is generally a walkable city too, particularly in the areas shown in Scrantix's photo (DTLA, Westlake, Mid-Wilshire, Echo Park, Hollywood).

Judging by streetview of LA, its not very walkable/urban....
I opened the link by the OP. Not impressed with the site, such meager website layout and the definition was the worst. I like this better urban fabric - Wiktionary
We are debating two different definitions sav.
Clearly since you've taken it upon yourself to change what this thread is about by using your own link to better fit what you want this thread to be about. Maybe you should start your own instead of storming in here and ruining one with your aggro CA-centric BS.

k, that's great New Orleans is a walkers paradise but its not more urban than LA. It doesn't have more urban fabric than LA. It's less dense than LA.
Nobody said it was more urban or dense so I'm not sure who the hell you're even arguing that point with, certainly not me.
You seem to having some internal debate in your head and completey missing what the OP was getting at and changing the parameters. Calm down skippy, it's not really that serious or necessary.

Not necessarily, the OP's OP was this

He mentioned urban fabric, and urban fabric only. He later tried to give a definition of it but that was not in the OP. I opened it, saw the crappy website format, read the laughably unoriginal comment box and rejected the definition. I went on this site called Google and searched urban fabric and found this urban fabric - Wiktionary
I like the more precise definition better for this and not to mention LA dominates every characteristic in the definition.

LOL why am I not surprised by this..
sav, I haven't ruined a thing, I simply rejected the definition dtownboogers left for us and got a better one. Another thread is unnecessary when we still have this one
An argument can be made that while you still live here, that your mind has departed California.

Oh my, you must pardon me sav for coming in and talking about urban fabric which has yet to be defined.. I'm sorry I brought up those urban characteristics like density in the first place. Sorry for interrupting your disneyland flashback to your walkers paradise of New Orleans.
I know it, you know it, we all know it that the reason you New Orleans boosters, led by you sav, are arguing so vehemently about these small neighborhoods instead of the entire metro is because that's all New Orleans has to make a point on.
LA is a beast, it's the most urban metro in the country. It may be sprawl but it's dense sprawl, the densest the US has to offer, that urban fabric is knit so tight to LA even from 50 miles away, if you understood the point of those pictures then you would have known this. Miami is like that to a smaller extent. New Orleans is to limited and puny in this comparison LOL
NO seems to have a more urban vibe throughout the WHOLE city-limits as opposed to Miami and LA.
LA is the most urban in terms of SCALE on a city level compared to NO and Miami.
Miami's stuck somewhere between LA and NO.
LA and Miami are much more consistently urban, connected, and dense on a metro level than NO.
