Give me that Los Angeles style density, anyday over NYC or Chicago's (Downtown/Loop) density. I do like the DC type density, too.

oh nooooo, only NY's and Chicago's density is REAL density. all other cities are fake cities because NY density is suddenly the new standard for REAL cities. Its either you are a copy of NY or its a fake city.

Well out of the neighborhoods I want to live in certain cities (in Boston, New York City, Paris, London, or Hong Kong) the densities range from 33,000 people per square mile (Islington, London), to over 250,000 people per square mile (11th Arr., Paris).

To me, the more the merrier, as long as it's not a third-world country.

Wow, I guess I am the odd man out here. I picked the "no density" option and thought it was still too crowded . Our County is 57ppsm and it is plenty dense enough for my tastes, too much so at times in fact. The last County I lived in was 11ppsm and that was just about right.

Yeah same here. But I do love NYC's density and prefer that to LA's density.
