Decent photos, but...
Wow. I always knew euros to be cocky little pisses, but you take the cake. "Spoken like a true LA:er"?!?! The term is Angelino. It's almost laughable for me to even respond to your condescending remarks, seeing as you've never even been here! But alas, I took the bait.
LA is literally 7 times the city San Francisco is. Just look at the population figures. San Francisco is one small, but very dense city surrounded by suburbs that are just as sprawling and autocentric as LA suburbs.
LA's center is just as, and in some places more dense than San Francisco. Just take a look at this picture, it is only one nieghborhood in the central city:
LA has more suburbs than San Fran, but that does not make LA a suburb; the difference is that many of LA's suburbs were annexed into the city limits in the 50's for water distribution reasons, so it is home to some very suburban neighborhoods. The same thing would be true for San Francisico if it had annexed down to San Jose.
You might want to find out about a place before you throw labels around. Start in Santa Monica and drive into Downtown LA, and you will see a city that is just as dense in some places as Manhattan, certainly more dense in some places than San Fran.
Try not to be such a closed minded elitist next time you come to California.
