Perhaps, but you are still wrong. Both of these areas are urban, whether you think otherwise or not.
Depends, we probably have different definitions of urban. I'd say Inner Loop Houston or inside the LBJ of Dallas as urban. It's a big stretch calling suburbs urban.
It's like me claiming Pearland or The Woodlands in Houston as urban. I'd see Decatur as being urban though, but not Sandy Springs. I'll admit I've never been to Atlanta, but I've seen pictures and Google views of the area.
pictures, and you can pretty much walk anywhere. However, from what I've seen. It's nowhere near urban.
What you need to do is take a trip to Atlanta and ride this too. Dunwoody station you saw pics of the skyline. That's what you saw nothing ground level. On this forum you feed of what everyone else says on this forum you don't have experience nor knowledge of the Atlanta area. What's you defenition of urban my friend. Likr I stated before Marta stations are located in better urban setting.
Urban??? Since when have areas like Sandy Springs or College Park been considered urban???? No offense, but those areas resembles Dallas's exurbs.
If those areas are urban than so are Plano, Richardson, Carrollton,etc
How the hell would you even know and you've never even been to Atlanta?
Do you even know the difference between Suburb and Exurb? Frisco is more of an exurb than Sandy Spring is. Sandy Springs is an inner-ring suburb as well as College Park. If anything, Sandy Springs is more similar to Far North Dallas than an exurb in either city.
Stick to what you know (hijacking threads by bringing up Houston) instead of shooting off at the mouth about places you've never been to.

RESEMBLES an exurb. Learn to read before you start shooting off at the mouth.
Ok, so Plano, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Irving, Pearland and more are all urban. lol (going by what's being said on here).

I don't know, In my mind they are both urban places.
College Park is an older, inner-ring streetcar suburb. Block afer block of bungalows, with a historic core.
Sandy Springs is older suburban in many places, but you don't see vacant lots there. There are several miles of mansions like you would see in West Houston, but with much larger lots. There are also skyscrapers, and some very concentrated commercial zones.
Neither one of these has been considered truly suburban for many years.
If these areas were suburban, they would not have MARTA rail service.

Have even been to Dallas? If you had, I doubt you compare far north Dallas with Sandy Springs. Nothing alike.

Suburban is suburban. West Houston is suburban; not urban.

I saw what you said, so no need to patronize me.
Sandy Springs doesn't look/resemble an exurb by any definition. Sandy Springs and neighboring Dunwoody are major employment centers pretty much in the middle of the metro area, so by definition, they couldn't look exurban by any defintion. Plano used to be an exurb that has developed into an inner ring suburb as its an employment center in its own right, and has commuters from outlying areas (such as Frisco).
Exurbs tend to be much further out. Places such as Prosper or Red Oak or Ovilla would be exurbs of DFW by the strictest definition. Sandy Springs or College Park have no resemblence to those places.
I wouldn't consider Sandy Springs as "urban," but to say it's similar to an exurb is a falsehood.
