Its not just a matter of "build subways and the city will become dense". Manhattan is dense because its limit space (its an island, in the largest metro area in the country (and one of the largest in the world), and because the cities initial layout was done before the automobile, and for other historical reasons. LA will never be as dense as Manhattan unless some disaster or major economic change reduces Manhattan's density. LA is destined to get more dense. Why? Because its surrounded by mts on three sides, and water on the 4th.
