Pedestrian friendliness and density are two different things. And are you sure you're not thinking about downtown New Orleans?
You are correct that density and pedestrian friendliness are two different things. LA is denser than a lot of Eastern cities, but it isn't as pedestrian friendly. NOLA is way more pedestrian friendly than most Sunbelt cities. The French Quarter, Warehouse District, Garden District, and Uptown are all very walkable areas.

Correct. New Orleans is the most walkable city in the South. But that's to say that Houston does not have it's pedestrian communities.
You really could've found some better pics to make your weak point which has absolutely nothing to do with anything. No one is arguing that Phoenix is dense. We all know I could dig up posts of Houston and show you low-density development, as well.
You keep hammering in the point that Phoenix is not an urban city. No one is arguing the opposite. Many would argue Houston is not urban either. The two cities are still in the top 5 of most populated cities.
Houston has 600 more people/square mile than Phoenix. Uhh, ok. Philadelphia has 8,000 more people/square mile than Houston. New York has 23,000 more people/square mile than Houston. Los Angeles 3,000 more/square mile. Chicago 9,000 more/square mile. So, yeah, Houston is more dense than Phoenix (by a relatively small amount of people), but it still has a long way to go before it reaches any other major city.

We sure do know that, but your the one who was trying to defend Phoenix like it did:

And also, I could find very suburban photos of Los Angeles. A city that you (see below) says has a high density (which it does, but doesn't look like NYC).

And one has 600,000 in about 25-30 square miles. There are areas of Houston that have a density of 10,000 per square mile.

Don't know what you are trying to prove there. Everyone knows those cities are denser than Houston. NYC, Chicago, and Philly are no-brainers.
Houston actually has almost an 800 difference than Phoenix though in density.
