So what area do you think will be considered a part of Brooklyn beside San Fernando Valley?

I agree with you - perhaps limit it to the East SFV... North Hollywood, Studio City, San Fernando, Sylmar, Van Nuys, Panorama City. With pretty much all of these equivalents, the NYC neighborhood is going to be more dense and happening - that is what happens when you compare any city's neighborhoods with NYC's.

Boyle Heights/East LA - East Harlem/Wash Heights
Westlake/Pico Union - South Bronx
Huntington Park/South Gate/Downey - Corona/Jackson Heights/Elmhurst
Alhambra - Woodside
Northern South LA (the 10 til Slauson, Crenshaw til the 110) - Central Brooklyn (Crown Heights, Flatbush)
Leimert Park/Crenshaw - Harlem
Eastern South LA (Florence, Watts, etc) - Brownsville/East New York
Inglewood - Jamaica
Baldwin Hills/View Park - St Albans
South Bay - South Brooklyn
I like this one. But I think Santa Monica should equal the UWS, K-Town should equal maybe the Downtown Brooklyn/Atlantic Avenue/Flatbush Avenue area, and the SGV should equal Flushing.

Well if that's the case then more than half the LA list seems tiny or woefully inadequate comparisons.

"New Yorkers" (and by NY'er in quotes I mean people who moved there 3 years ago from Iowa) can't picture a city without comparing it to NYC because it's often their only experience living in a city.

As disaffected (read:broke) "B'klynites" invade our burgh we have to suffer through the same mindless comparisons.

Can't blame them. NYC is the only real big city in America. Others are just big towns with a downtown core which gets busy 9-6.

Seriously guys, most "major cities" in America are hardly major cities by world standards. By big city, you have to have the density, the pedestrian footprint, the vibrancy and downtown has to have a lot of residents who actually live there. Can you say the same about Los Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia, not to mention Houston, Atlanta etc? Chicago, probably.

If most people drive to their suburban houses after 6pm, that's not a big city. It is just a big town with a CBD.

If you visited cities such as London, Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Seoul, Madrid, etc., you will realise that yes, NYC is the only real urban experience. LA is just a huge amalgamation of small towns.

Urban people live in apartment buildings with amenities all around them, not 2 storey houses with no grocery store or restaurants (except fast food) within 20 minutes walking distance.
