Meh....it's no different than this neighborhood in Boston is with a density over 80,000 people per square mile at 7:00 a.m. in the morning which is probably when the google truck drove through these neighborhoods.
But weren't you trying to exclude these 80,000 ppsm, 85,000 ppsm and 110,000 ppsm tracts of Boston from the urban core? Why should we include something with considerably less density as part of the urban core, and those other parts not?
That's what the Onion is. Started in Madison*, moved its offices to New York City. You can find free copies of The Onion on streets of Manhattan.
*Madison doesn't have 5k, but to a New Yorker it might as well.
The article's impression of Boston seems fairly accurate for those used to New York City. Years ago, I traveled there with my mom and she kept gushing how different it was — clean, uncrowded, non-gritty, civillized, is this a real city? I remember in high school, it seemed like Boston was the locals' favorite city.
Yeah I know, the entire time I lived there it felt like a "make-believe" big city. One time when we first moved to Boston my wife mentioned to a local that she though Boston was a cool town. He promptly corrected her "It's a city."

Haha what a douche! Before moving into the actual city of Boston, it was pretty common for my friends and I to say "you wanna go into town tonight?"

My response addressed this guy thinking he could get a general sense of pedestrian traffic through Google street view lol.......
Some people don't realize that Google street view is only good for seeing buildings and has nothing to do with how much street traffic a neighborhood has.
Boston is such a cute little New England town. When I was leaving I wanted to take the entire city, put it in my back pocket and fold it up to take back home with me. So cute.
Even though Boston is small they still crush DC. DC is dead after 7 pm when everyone gets off work or hitting the buffets. Yes, I said buffets, I never understood their obsession for them!
In the end my vote is for Boston even though neither are truly urban.

Could you please post some examples of buffets in DC proper? Never seen one. You clearly described the suburbs just now. Lol......
Boston and DC are two of the most urban cities in the US.
SF and Philly crushes both. SF for core extremely dense. Philly for a long stretch of land heavily urban. I personally think both outdo Chicago on desity, and I there border were the same as Chi's they would all the same pop.
