What is the primary city of the South/Sunbelt(Besides Los Angeles) in terms of business, economy, growth, density, downtown, tourism, transit, food, sports, urban feel, metro area, & overall?
Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Miami, Memphis, Nashville, New Orleans, Phoenix, St.Louis
There is none. Atlanta, Houston, and Dallas equally dominate the region.
Tend to agree with this. None of those three is head or shoulders above the other two - between the three of them they share southern primacy, with Miami getting an honorable mention.
Atlanta's sphere of influence basically covers all of the Carolinas and Georgia (25.418 million); maybe the northernmost ~2 million of Florida, from Tallahassee to Jacksonville; everywhere in Alabama besides the Greater Mobile area (~4.3 million); and the most southeastern region of Tennessee from Chattanooga to south of Knoxville (~1 million). Give or take up to another half a million, is say Atlanta is the de facto "city" for roughly 32-33 million people...
Measured in population, what is Houston and Dallas' spheres of influences?
Aside from just population and taking other factors into account, Houston to me is the top city in the South, but it's close. Dallas is not far behind it and seems to be experiencing healthier growth across the board, with greater potential in future projections. Atlanta is right behind Dallas...
All factors considered Miami is well behind Houston, Dallas, and Atlanta...

The Sun Belt is more than the south.
For that matter, parts of the south are probably not in the Sun Belt.
St. Louis and Kansas City are part of the rust belt.
