And actually the article was correct, but the conclusion is meaningless. It isn't exactly surprising that a county in Southern CA grew faster than NYC + three Hudson Valley counties (two of them rural and essentially off limits to development) during the last 35 years.

That too, but I was more focusing on comparing the city of LA (3-4 million) to the city of NY (~8 million). If LA annexed cities that should honestly be under its belt anyway (ex. Santa Monica, Hollywood, much of South Central down to Long Beach and its surroundings), it could possibly reach or even exceed NYC’s population.
