Houston is the densest, followed by Atlanta, and then Dallas (this is going city limit wise). Urban area wise, Houston is the densest, followed by Dallas, and then Atlanta.

OKAY, WE GET IT, YOU LOVE HOUSTON! EVERYWHERE ELSE SUCKS TO YOU!

Ft. Worth is close enough to Dallas where the commuting patterns warrant the two cities to be one consolidated metro area. So is it unfair for Miami to include Ft. Lauderdale in their metro area?
Jesus H Christ, you've been on here all day grasping at straws.

It was a damn joke, hence the smiley. Chill out.

Seriously, who are you? You think you know everything about every city. Who's the "we" you speak of?

They are so different. Atlanta feels a bit more "busy". I agree that Atlanta is more similar to Houston.

Seriously, they are essentially the same city. One has heavily forested and in the piedmont, the other is on a prarie with many lakes. But built wise, they are the same. The density is about the same, they are suburban cities, they are both fast pace cities (Dallas being just slightly faster IMO), and they are growing very fast.

Yeah, DFW has like 9 cities above 100,000. Then has, what, four or five above 200K, then one over 300K?

I'm just talking suburbs.

Yep. Just goes to show you that Dallas wouldn't be what it is if it wasn't for it's supporting cast and vice versa. As much as I hate to admit it, Dallas IS the most important city in this area. That's why I really hate it when the leadership in Dallas spends more time fighting each other than fixing the city, y'know? It makes us all look bad.
But at least the city has a new mayor that almost no Dallasite complains about.
