I think they still mean the City of L.A. is biggest in  square miles, not 
people.

This was the case in my boyhood when the population was only an even 
million, while NYC was 4 million or more.

There's supposed to be one dimension of L.A. where you could go a hundred 
miles in a straight line. (if you were a crow)
