It just seems like a bizarre place when you lived in an East Coast/Midwestern dense metropolis all your life and then you go to LA and it's just this giant sprawled out blob.
L.A is the most envious city in America bar none, Maybe it's Hollywood fault.Maybe New yorkers feels threatened by the position of Los Angeles & that's why it's so hated,Love it or Hate it but Los Angeles & California are the best places to be by far,Best weather, women,food, tropical scenery,world class metro ,what more can a person want for it's city ?

Besides LA's weather (save for the drought), it seems like most people really only envy NYC, especially on these forums. NYC tends to be the rule of thumb on this website more often than not in terms of city planning.
No kidding. I just informed you of that fact-and spoon-fed you the source- after you yourself went out of your way to single out downtown LA as "urban". Remember that? It was one page ago.
-Doesn't most of that Downtown density in Miami come from condos? Not especially vibrant IMO.
-The numbers for DTLA are from the 2000 census, the population has since doubled. More than half of the freeway loop is industrial, which means the majority of DTLA's 53,000 residents live in a 2.5 sq mile area.
-Westlake/Koreatown/E. Hollywood/Hollywood = 11 sq miles, population 370,000, 33k ppsm.
-That's the entire population of the city of Miami in 11 sq miles, with nearly 3x the density. There's no comparison between the two cores in terms of size, density, and urbanity.
Well that's your opinion sir,In all my life living in Los Angeles i never heard anybody bash N.y.c or even cared about it,Plus more New yorkers move to Los Angeles than the other way around but L.A is clearly the most hated/envied city on here.
Look at how many cities vs L.A threads there are ,It's out of hand but like i said people feel threatened by the position of Los Angeles & are upset at all the attention it gets . ( Media )

It's more people in California and Los Angeles than what any census tells you due to the huge amount of uncounted immigrants.
People talk on Los Angeles but never even been out here,Manhattan is very very small compared to Los Angeles & i was shocked at how tiny it was when i visited. Still it has higher density due to it being a vertical built city wity people packed in apartments on top of each other where in L.A things are more spread out evenly & more normal, ,No terrible accent or dirty weather & rats everywhere, Than again you gotta Love the things that make New york what it is .
Both of the Greatest cities in American history though.

"Bizarre blob" is fair, IMO. But calling it a suburb is like a 90 year-old equating the internet to a series of tubes.
