Yes, let's ignore Montana Ave, main St,
Downtown sm (it goes to Lincoln Blvd these days ), ocean Park Ave, Wilshire, sm Blvd, arious clusters
Of 7-8 story office buildings on the east side.

It's not a big city, it has 90,000. But there's nothing small town about it. There's not many suburbs that pack more amenities in or as walkable either. Please don't mention little villages either. It's not the same.
Greenwich looks like Laguna Beach more than Santa Monica.
But keep exgerrating though.

Lol Santa Monica is a joke as one of the largest urban centers in a metro of 20 million people. And I think even you know that deep down. And I lived 5-10 minutes drive from DT Santa Monica (did you?) and think I am familiar enough with it.

Whatever you say Fairfield .
.are you gonna promote the amazing cos cobb next? Or bustling Norwalk?

lol what? Several square miles of tightly packed prewar urbanity vs. a "commercial center" (really just one street) surrounded by massive surface parking lots and endless five acre lots. Nobody walks in 99% of Greenwich. Just as well since there are no SIDEWALKS and CROSSWALKS

Way to lose all credibility with that comparison.

Ok. One thread bashing LA is enough.
