Illegal immigrants? Google views of non-American slums? Pitiful arguments. DC is barely as dense as the San Fernando Valley, an actual suburb of L.A., and you're selling D.C. as the more urban environment? Don't make me laugh.

So, what do you think urbanity is? Give me your actual definition through an example? What is the design? What is the street interaction requirement? What is the lot size? How do the lots need to relate to the street? What kind of transit infrastructure is needed? You keep talking about population density? What kind of buildings are needed? Could I build 300 shacks with 10 people in each and call that urban because the density would be high?
I know that. That part is well known, but I was trying to say that LA has a lot more highly dense neighborhoods than dc. Also, it's density is sustained over a much larger area.
This list is from ScrantiX
DC's density from the US Capitol 20515
1 mile from 20515 population 31,153 density 9,765
5 miles from 20515 population 533,034 density 10,542
10 miles from 20515 population 601,723 density 9,856
.......
That's not that dense
DC is 10,000 ppsm! Forget your tracts. LA is at 8,000.

DC looks and feels like a real city. It's 10,000 ppsm. LA is at 8,000.
Yeah, scrantiX got 1.25 million residents in a 5 sq mile area (twice the population of DC over a 10 mile radius) in Los Angeles. The density is over 16,000 ppsm.
But the apartment buildings in L.A. don't touch, so it's not urban. Uh huh.
This is what density looks like in L.A. I wonder what L.A.'s density would be if professionals lived there with maybe one or two people in an apartment instead of 8 people.

Do you or would you live in this neighborhood? Well........
West Hollywood is 87% multi-unit housing, has tiny household sizes, and has a population density at 18,000 ppsm. So whats the excuse there? 42% of Los Angeles COUNTY is multi-unit housing! Thats an astronomical amount for a county of 9.8 million people. What nerve to think L.A. achieves its density by cramming 8 people in a house. You're out of touch, seriously.
