We get it; the southern cities lack vibrancy. These type of threads are really unnecessary.
Not at all, my point was someone recently called Hoboken suburban, my point is this area can compete with most city neighborhoods. I choose one of the most prominent city neighborhoods in the country as a point, I think these two areas stack up extremely well. It was recently made by someone from the ATL so why not see what people think. I just as easily could have choosen an area in DC for example
Buckhead is better. It has everything I need although not very dense. It is modern and fancy and accessible by subway. I've not been to Hoboken but from google streetview, it looks terribly rundown. I really don't like the look of it. It is dense but from google streetview, most of the buildings are pure apartment buildings with crappy unpainted sides and shops at the first floor are few and far between. They also look small and dark from outside and look like places that I would never step into. There aren't even people on the streets though the city certainly look dense. Hoboken just has the population density. Many people *live* there in dense apartment buildings but it doesn't have the vibe density. If you simply change those apartment buildings into houses then it is just another suburb (Stacking houses together into multi-level apartment buildings, making them smaller and eliminating parking spaces do not automatically make an urban, vibrant living style. You need high quality retail and entertainment below those apartment buildings to make that happen), and it looks very third world to me, and not even the nicer parts of a third world city. But of course judging by the criteria of many people at CD, quite a few people in the US actually prefer third world living styles and looks and call that "character" and "soul" so you never know.

People really have no clue about what they're typing about half the time. Hoboken, run down? Are you serious, this site is a JOKE sometimes...
