Is it the cars? cause there are downtown that are car based all over the US.

you are still missing the meaning of what urban/suburban mean and trying to define it based on your own personal experience.

Those definitions worked in elementary school, but you should have been weened off of that by now. No urban areas do not have to be Manhattenesque

Many suburban areas function as business centers with malls, the only real difference is they typically dont have a monsterous tower in parkinglotesque settings

If that is the new city I am very content in not moving there, seriously this is suburbia sorrounded by a mall and tall office parks

Houston, TX - Google Maps


Seriously what is this, ugh - this is the 80s gone wrong, all we need is tubbs and don johnson and a bad leisure suit (plus did a search on tallest building in Houston and presto the mall, ok too much sarcasm

tallest building - Google Maps

It looks like this crap
crystal city, va - Google Maps

ugh

well you are showing your lack of knowledge in this thread once again.

The Williams Tower is not the Mall. The Mall is around it


Second, who the heck is don johnson and tubbs?

Lastly we don't want you to move here; we have too many whiny transplants already. No thanks, you can have crumbly Philly, I don't want it, and by the looks of it, tens of thousands more prefer to move here every year than to move over there. I don't know why you seem to think Philly is so much better than everywhere else. It most certainly is not
