On a side note, I feel like this is turning into a city vs city thread, which isn't good because this was originally a relocation thread. Then again, the OP seems to have left the building, so I guess anything goes....

[quote=munchitup;32401993]In its little core, yes Boston is more walkable. But that gives you about 40 square miles of walkable areas to deal with, while Los Angeles offers a plethora of walkable neighborhoods....


40sqmi...your words not mine...but I agree Boston does have many sqmi of urbanity.

What makes you think that Boston is less tolerant than the other cities?

It seems to me that the fact that black people are fleeing SF and white people are fleeing LA is something of a red flag as far as this comparison goes....

It's only denser b/c it's full of some of the poorest and most uneducated people crammed in squalor of all of LA county. It isn't structurally denser.

If you go by housing unit density, LA is lower but not by much [miles from center/densest neighborhood of city]:



Streets like these pack lots of people regardless of income:
