Why would you compare LA's densest core neighborhoods to the entirety of Brooklyn, or all of NYC? Doesn't that just illustrate how core LA is so different?

I'm pretty sure both neighborhoods would have significantly lower household sizes, and the Mission would have significantly higher incomes. Tenderloin has really good built form, likely unmatched in the Western U.S.

Poverty doesn't drive the same neighborhood functions and amenities as wealth. You won't have choice transit riders, or redevelopment, or the same retail amenities. You'll have lower household sizes, so the relative urbanity is misleading.
I don't know much about SF Chinatown but Manhattan Chinatown hasn't been a big immigration neighborhood in many generations. It's still Chinese (but decreasingly so) due to strict rent control and Chinese families owning the buildings.
There are no gateway immigrant neighborhoods in Manhattan anymore. Washington Heights was the last, for Dominicans maybe till around 1990. Nowadays Dominicans head to the Bronx first.
