Yeah, Moscow doesn't seem that dense to me either, at least based on what I saw on Google Street View. I guess the commie blocks add up quickly.
Also, most people don't calculate Staten Island into their mental math of NYC and its density. The average density of Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and the Bronx is 34,338/sq mile (versus 29,302 with SI). Brooklyn, Queen, Manhattan, and the Bronx collectively contain nearly 95% of NYC's population.
