Density of Paris, France: 21,000/km2 LA: 3,198/km2 From wikipedia. Perhaps they've been approving more lately - because they have a lot of catching up to do.

Just look around with Google Maps - there's tons and tons of this sort of housing:
https://www.google.com/maps/@34.0418869,-118.4327533,3a,60y,186.19h,92.04t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1siOsISe3agcMfltLUz-dKzg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 https://www.google.com/maps/@34.0418869,-118.4327533,3a,60y,...
It's not dense at all.
Here's a random place in Milan: https://goo.gl/maps/c4u9cgLeNon https://goo.gl/maps/c4u9cgLeNon
That's more typical of a big city in a place where it's legal to build up.
- bogomipz 9y agoWhat's the point in your Google Map link? That is a picture of a single family home. So what? What does that prove? That means nothing other than you found a picture of a random house on Google Maps. Some family owns that home and the land it is built on. I know the neighborhood well. When that area was originally developed it was considered a suburb. Originally anything West of downtown was considered a suburb. And your density figure for LA is also wrong. from the last census: >"The nation's most densely populated urbanized area is Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, Calif., with nearly 7,000 people per square mile."[1] That is 7,000 people per 2.6/Km.
