They have both gentrified like crazy, but I have some friends from both city who are locals - from back when they were ungentrified. Their casual recountings of local lore sound like something straight out of Faulkner - a somewhat urban variant of it, and they have ten-miles-thick Vahginnia Tiiiidewatter/SC Low Country accents that I couldn't begin to do justice to.
Savannah, Mobile or Wilmington NC might rival them.
New Orleans surpasses them, but NoLa is so much of a total universe of 'not like anybody else' that it just transcends pretty much everything - it's kinda like New York's and San Francisco's crazy swamp cousin.
nope. I said biggest city in the south. Dallas has to edge out San Antonio first
And that's why city population means in the general sense. But Houston by itself is still the biggest. Dallas plus Fort Worth is bigger than Houston. But the Dallas side of the metro area is still at 4.3 million and growing fast.

Its apples to apples at the end of the day. If you take Dallas and Tarrant counties, put them together, you have more people than Harris county (barely) living in less land.
Bottom line, it doesnt matter. DFW is the biggest population center in the Southeast. Its bigger than Houston in every metric except city proper.

Despite all the Kooky math, Houston is still larger than Dallas.

As a city proper yes, as a metropolitan area, no. Its appples to apples at any rate because the Dallas/Fort Worth Metro area and the Greater Houston Metro area are almost exactly the same size in land area.
DFW is a larger metro area, urban area, csa, etc. If city only measurements were the best way to go, I would love to hear you explain how Austin is more important than Atlanta and how Jacksonville is more important than Miami.
Atlanta. But when I think of the South I automatically think of Alabama.
