I don't think that's an accurate comparison at all. New York has many more people living in its hinterlands than Los Angeles. Once you get out of the LA urbanized area (meaning LA, IE, OC, portions of Ventura County) there is almost nothing. Open desert and mountains to the east and north, Pacific to the west. You do have San Diego to the south, but in New York's case, you have countless small towns and cities in Jersey, Connecticut, NE Pennsylvania. It basically bleeds into Philly, which bleeds into Baltimore, which is basically intertwined with Washington. The East Coast much more closely resembles the regional population density of SE England than LA and SoCal.
