Sorry, I don't count LA as a city. It's endless suburban sprawl. It doesn't have the density to live up to the claim to be a city.

I'm not claiming that other cities are NYC. There's only one NYC. But there are cities, even in the US, where there's an urban core that has useful "Subways, trains, buses. Taxis, Ubers, CitiBike" or equivalent.

Try:

* Seattle

* Boston

* Chicago

* Washington, D.C.

* San Francisco

* Philadelphia

* Baltimore

* Denver

* Portland

* Atlanta

* Minneapolis-St. Paul

It's not uniformly the case for all LA-area cities, but many of the densest urban areas in the US are in greater Los Angeles[1]. It's the 2nd most dense "metro area" in the US.[2]
