I have to wonder though, if you already knew the answer, why did you make the thread?
Curiosity, I just wanted to see if people thought the same. I actually had a long argument about this with a west coast friend the other day. You could make an argument for both cities.
Maybe I should have phrased the question "which city looks/feels more urban to you".
Here's a group of streetviews I put together for a thread on another forum from the classically urban residential streets in Pitttsburgh. I excluded business districts.
City limits, Pittsburgh by a MILE. It was a pre auto city with very few classic suburban city neighborhoods.
Los Angeles clearly is a very large, urban (more than most people give credit for BTW) city but a large portion within its city limits are dense suburban areas.

How many neighborhoods does Pittsburgh have with densities of 50,000+ per square mile? Zero? That's what I thought

But can't one argue that although a city might have more density, it still might not LOOK or FEEL more urban?
