I think it has to be LA. Miami has perhaps more high rises when accounting for residential, but something about LA, while it's still not the most like this, just feels much more walkable/connected than Miami. Miami Beach is incredibly dense by FL standards, but it's business district doesn't seem nearly as extensive/continuous as say, Hollywood, and the Downtowns are really night and day IMO.
LA has prime city neighborhoods without sidewalks. Its urbanity is being overstated here.
Which are?
I guess it would also depend on what you would call a prime city neighborhood. Maybe the Hills? Most of those neighborhoods have sidewalks. Every neighborhood in the basin does.

The only parts of Los Angeles that typically don't have sidewalks are in the Hollywood Hills and parts of the San Fernando Valley. Many more portions of South Florida/Miami lack sidewalks in many areas, but I know how a lot of posters on C-D love to cherrypick to prove a point. The vast majority of Los Angeles city limits has sidewalks.
Also, very little of Miami has long, continuous retail strips like this:
To be fair, there are dense, walkable parts of Miami/South Florida with a lot of potential to be more urban and walkable, but they don't cover the vast swaths of Los Angeles since it's a much smaller city and metro area overall. Calle Ocho seems to be the longest and most consistent. Portions of Biscayne Blvd too.

Miami has several neighborhoods without sidewalks.
