Yes and based on looking at an aerial map up close and zoomed in street by street, Andover looks almost rural compared to the average California suburb.

Some might sympathize with you not claiming Philadelphia.

Okay, so then you concede that any Suburban downtown makes the town 'urban'?

Cause then nearly every city in the Bay Area is suddenly 'urban'.

However a Cali Suburb has a density of close to 4,000 ppsm, but in Andovers case a portion of the town is Urban, however close to 1,200 ppsm.
so higher density does not automaticly equal urbanitity.

Think of something else.

um easy one numbers man - Find 200 sq miles that is connected and over 10K ppsm. until you do i could care less how many miles along the bay it is dense. Remember a mile long and an inch deep.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, the biggest problem is that we don't agree on what is and what is not urban.

If we can get a concensus on what defines 'urban', then this thread might end quicker. LOL.
