Because of this:

and this:

YouTube - ‪Hood 2 Hood Houston‬‏

Houston's borders are too big to be considered urban because most of the city looks rather suburban and even "country". Same thing with Charlotte and Jacksonville.
It would've been different if it had the density and urbanity of NYC, LA, or Chicago.

It doesn't have the urbanity or density if these cities. But that doesn't mean its country.

No, the majority of the city looks suburban; the area you picked is not the norm in the Houston area. That video only represents a bit of the culture of Houston. Have you ever been to Houston?? Because out of the four major metropolitan areas in the south; It is second behind Miami as far as density. I believe its up there with the DMV area.


YouTube - ‪One Day in Houston‬‏

You're argument throughout this entire thread has been very one-sided. You only show one aspect of a city and don't mention the others. I can't believe I'm arguing with someone from the DMV about density. Please, the sprawl up there is worse than down here once you get outside of DC.

You need to look up the definition of country before you start throwing the term around everywhere incorrectly.

Up there with DMV area? You mean metro, right. Because DC is far more dense than Houston.

I honestly read it very fast and saw just DC instead of DMV.
