however, LP contains a higher proportion of uninhabited lakefront parkland within its borders. when you control for that, the density stats get a little closer:
LP - 67,260 on 2.48 sq. miles = 27,121 ppsm
LV - 99,876 on 2.81 sq. miles = 35,543 ppsm

1,000,000,000% agreed.
LP is definitely not
THE hot neighborhood it was 30 years ago, but it's absolutely still urban, dense, culturally relevant, and heavily visited as far as chicago neighborhood urbanism goes.
