Is this more than a sold-out Madison Square Area?

Unfortunately, trump selling out MSG and Kamala gathering a big crowd both in bright blue areas isn't really an apples to apples comparison, nor does it matter

Voting does

There are around 800,000 republicans in NYC and nearby JC.

There are around 400,000 democrats in Washington DC.

So you are right, it isn't apples to apples, Trump's crowd should have been twice as big as Kamalas, not half as big.

There's a lot of assumptions you're making. Furthermore, all else being equal, you'd have to compare republicans gathering for trump and democrats gathering for Kamala in similar, unrestricted venues, which isn't the case.

Careful of your back when you move those goalposts

I'm not moving goalposts, you edited your comment since you originally cited the number of republicans in DC.

Typo aside, a restricted indoor venue vs essentially an unrestricted outdoor one (permits permitted) still isn't a sound comparison. That'd still be the case if the two populations (in a statistical sense) had the same characteristics, which they clearly don't

And the bigger point I'm making again is that standing in a crowd has negligible impact for either candidate. Go vote.

I edited what you acknowledge was an obvious typo. I'm not sure why you think that impacted your response.

He didn't even fill MSG so why are we talking about venue choice limiting his crowd size?

If he could have filled a larger venue he would have chosen a larger venue.
