This really is an apples-to-oranges comparison.
While this arbitrary 50 square miles of LA has been cobbled together to exclude 75% of its own downtown and avoid as many non-residential areas as possible, Boston fits its residential *and* non-residential zones into roughly that same land area--downtown, airport, universities, seaport, etc. It's entirely possible the Bostonians are living at higher average densities than the Angelenos even within this random area as assembled. That's how inapt this attempted comparison is--it's not even clear what can be gleaned from the data given.
