Yeah, I guess not compared to other cities. But, my point was that people think LA is just a bland downtown with no density and I wanted to show that that's not true.
oh yea i got it! its definantly not just a bland, spaced out city or downtown
Truth be told though, Houston's inner-loop is about as big a lot of very urban major cities. In that respect it stands, but overall I agree its not urban in the sense of density, however I don't think density reality completes the definition of urbanity whatsoever...that is just one component in my opinion, but I guess in the OP's context.
The bold is true. Miami is dense but I wouldn't call it completely urban either. There are complaints that Downtown is dead. The rail system is poorly used and it's still a car centric city. Hey, that's just like the rest of the sunbelt.But somehow Miami escapes the discussion with Houston, Dallas and Atlanta when it comes to that subject.
The inner loop is about 98 square miles and about 600,000 I believe live in it. It is becoming more dense and more urban but it will take a while for it to become the type of environment you would expect from cities in the Northeast and Midwest. Californians are moving to Houston in droves and the ones that are moving into the inner loop are turning that part of Houston into a city that mimics the density of California. I've seen photo threads on various boards and Californians respond how the inner loop is being Californized or Californicated
Seattle doesn't have the residential density of SF or BosWash at the moment, but it is pretty dense in the downtown and immediate neighborhoods. I thought I would add a few pictures, taken from skyscraperpage.com:

I agree. People look too deep into Houston and how big it is; they simply forget how dense the inner loop is and how thats pretty much where everything is at.
