I have lived in L.A, and now live in Chicago, believe me there is no comparison between DTLA and downtown Chicago in any metric. Not only is the urban core, with the exception of N.Y , outpacing all other U.S cities in growth, but the adjacent areas like the West Loop, Fulton Market, Near North are densifying like crazy. And this does not even include on the horizon mega-projects like The 78, Lincoln Yards, Michael Reese and others which will further densify the core. So maybe the topic should be growing density in U.S outside of Chicago and N.Y.
