LA is hardly dense though.
- whalesalad 7y agoI grew up here. I live here. What makes you think it’s not dense? “LA” is HUGE. Parts of it are dense, parts of it are less dense. When most people think of LA they need to think in the context of the entire county. There are ten million people living here, that’s more than the entire state of Michigan.
- CapricornNoble 7y agoLA is 3,100 ppl/km2. [1] Tokyo is double that. [2] It's all a matter of perspective. Personally I've been living in Asia so long that most places outside of New York feel under-developed to me. Just sticking to major first-world cities and the most obvious example of Tokyo blows LA's density out of the water. If we dipped into less-developed metropoli, we could throw, say, Manila into the conversation at [20,000;70,000]/km2 and then LA's density looks positively quaint.
