And? If we added up our 5 core Counties, we would still rank ahead of Houston.
No need to be snarky, or have you just returned from a trip to NYC?
The last comment about someone being rude because they visited NYC was completely unnecessary. You changed the topic of a thread to bash a city for no apparent reason.

Try again. I didn't change the topic. And it's called sarcasm.
Lighten up, Francis.
You are hardly the little innocent when it comes to bashing other regions, particularly the one being discussed.

What are you talking about bashing regions for? Also, why are you accusing me of bashing regions? This is the first time that I have ever seen one of your post on this site. I just posted in this thread and gave my opinion stating that Dallas felt more urban that Atlanta. I did not bash anything.
What's with all the Texans and Georgians fighting lately? Remember the good ole days of three months ago when we would only fight with northerners. Tsk tsk tsk, I swear I don't know what this world is coming to! Lord deliver us all!
It's not all the Texans on here, most of whom made reasonable cases and arguments. It's the usual Houston homers that hijack every thread on this forum who create new arguments when there were none. The whole thing about Atlanta being "more educated" was discussed ad nauseum on another thread and it turned into a FUBAR mess too.
Wasn't this about urbanity again?
This Atlantan voted for Miami, but I can see how someone can argue otherwise about Miami's urbanity.
And yes, I agree that the neighborhoods are denser in Dallas and Houston than in Atlanta. The stereotype of Texas having wide open spaces everywhere falls by the wayside quickly in the DFW and Houston areas.
The thing is, I don't think that "urbanity" and "density" are the same, but they're not mutually exclusive either.
Atlanta is no slouch when it comes to "walkable" and "urban" neighborhoods, but there could be way more than what we have. I like Va-Highland and Little 5 points and East Atlanta Village, and Decatur Square (my favorite), but I hope the efforts to make Buckhead more "urban" do come into fruition.
What are the dense, walkable, urban neighborhoods in Dallas? Bishop Arts District, Knox-Henderson, Lakewood, parts of Lower Greenville?
Houston has Rice Village, Midtown, Downtown, Houston Heights, Montrose and what about Upper Kirby?
