LA by far and large. After that, it's a huge drop.

LA probably takes every one of those categories except maybe walkability.

It takes that too. In terms of scattered walkable areas, it stands above the rest in size and per capita.

I can't find the thread, but there was a study done comparing the amount of amenities (restaurants, shopping, food, nightlife) within a radius of downtown, within 25 square miles of downtown, only Chicago, SF and of course NYC had more total. The rest of the cities in this thread comparison were about two tiers below. People generally underestimate LA. It contains a vast area of extremely dense streetcar urbanity on steroids, not the same thing as completely auto-oriented sprawl.
