Greater Cincinnati takes 4,398.8 sq mi just to make a little over 2 million. So as you watch that video think about that.

Now Because the neighborhoods where Castleberry Hill, Sweet Auburn, Cabbagetown, Old Fourth Ward where many homes have no yard or very small home lots for the most part there isn’t drive ways and everything is close to the sidewalk I want you to wow me and post something in Cincinnati that’s so urban that those Atlanta neighborhoods are un urban. I’m not saying Atlanta has more urban neighborhoods then Cincinnati but I will say Atlanta many urban neighborhoods just as Cincinnati. So please post something about Cincinnati that blows Atlanta out of the park something we can’t counter with a Atlanta neighborhood. You said you have a different standards for urbanity show us this in Cincinnati so we know what your talking about feel free to use pictures and google map. Because I dying to know what in Cincinnati is so urban in development that Atlanta’s Sweet Auburn, Cabbagetown, Old Fourth Ward and etc aren’t. Pretty please

i already did--refer back to the link i posted a page or 2 back.

The Atlanta area has 2-3 times as many people as the Cincinnati area, not really a fair comparison.

You're posting videos of suburbs surrounding Atlanta, and at the same time a video on Cincinnati proper.
I don't expect you to respond, you can keep posting videos, it's a just little odd.

The central urban core of Cincinnati can be very deceiving. People like to post pictures of Downtown and OTR and act like the entire city and area is like that, far from true.

The majority of Cincinnati city actually has a suburban look and feel to it, and the far majority (over 3/4) of the Cincinnati metro area is made up of typical boring suburban sprawl, filled with newer McMansions and neighborhoods where all the houses look the same.

People who live in cities DO worry about whether it has light rail or heavy rail, or in better terms, public transportation is extremely important for day to day life. People rent their apartments and buy property based on this stuff.
So when people on here mislead others and claim things like "oh yeah you can live there without a car", when it is in fact an extreme hassle to do so, makes people in turn, extremely pissed off.
Also I would imagine most people in the nation's better cities DO go to the museums and associated events more than that as the majority of them have visiting exhibits which people want to check out, it isn't as if they are seeing the same stuff over and over.
I.E. I've been to MOMA in SF, but would definitely go again say when Richard Avedon exhibit was in town.
I've been to Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, but made a special extra visit a few years back just for Body Worlds 2.

I know you are just stopping by to troll on your new account, but figured I would call you out on it anyhow.
There are plenty of other examples.
It is not a pissing contest at all, but, they are two different lifestyles.

Dude, no one in ATL is sitting around sad and depressed because of sprawl and no one living here is complaining about MARTA not being "heavy rail". I mean seriously, who sits around and frowns about this stuff?

Says the guy who is the biggest homer for his city on this site and goes above and beyond to bash Cincinnati because he feels legitimately threatened that it perhaps could be as good of a place to live if not better than Cleveland.

A lot of Atlanta residents are very aware of the sprawl and want more fill in and high rise development particular somewhere like Midtown, as are residents of most successful modern metros. I believe MARTA is actually heavy rail so..? A lot of Atlanta residents want to expand MARTA and have to fight with the surrounding suburb NIMBY's.
