If you drive around, LA feels large and never-ending. But if you park your car and get out, almost anywhere in LA feels sleepy.
LA is decentralized, New York is centralized but both function and 'feel' like cities. Houston is very decentralized as well and you need a car for everything but it still looks and acts very much like a major American city. City does not mean high density with mass transit.
