are you kidding, you have over a dozen posters on here who routinely claim buckhead is the urban lifestyle, where have you been.
To them its urban so trying to prove it isnt really isnt going to get you anywhere. Who is going to stop them from saying it is urban? I can have a urban lifestyle in buckhead Depending on where I am in Buckhead. Might not look like Hoboken but I could easily walk ride a train to the nearest grocery store, club resturant, shopping and A whole lot of things. Through out this thread they have said Hoboken does offer a better Urban lifestyle. But to say you cant live a urban lifestyle in Buckhead is not accurate. We never gave Atlanta the title NYC of the south

oh but if only that were what was said...
where do you go outside of buckhead though, and comparable to what other urban lifestyles in the u.s., it is still in the same country right, or is it only an urban lifestyle that you could call that for the state of georgia? how about claims of is buckhead urban, while queens is suburban? is that accurate? b/c that is what I see people posting. is new development in buckhead make it look like tokyo? they claim that too.

I never saw the post about it being or looking like Tokyo. What I have seen is that people would say that parts of Atlanta urban parts is set up like queens its urban but not on the level like the other boroughs. Queens doesnt offer you that High density urban lifestyle like the bronx or Brooklyn. Hell Hoboken has better city access than Queens.


Buckhead is Huge Hoboken is just 1 mile. Hoboken is what it is because of proximity to NYC

I know this is about BUckhead but look at these pictures and tell me what they resemble

Queens has a higher population density than Chicago, Philadelphia, SF, and Boston

Then I would say , what the heck are they talking about? Queens is 2.3 million people at 21,000 density. It's twice as dense and and twice is large as Boston, so you could fit 4 Boston's within Queens alone...

Yeah he threw me on that one too; maybe he meant Staten Island which is close to the density of DC I believe (still dense by US cities). Nearly half of the 2.3 million Queens residents would fit inside of Buckhead footprint alone and the 2.3 million would basically fit inside the loop of Houston. Queens is uber dense in US standards; just not NYC standards

Queens just seems less dense than the other Brooklyn and the Bronx

Buckhead has the better women, but as far as transit options go/walkability Hoboken hands down.

so hopefully now that you see the logic written out, you don't actually agree with these posters, do you?
