Make up your mind. Is the square mileage 333 Sq Mi or 407 Sq Mi? If anything, the density would still be lower. Even a brief visit to the two would indicate this.

I swear, this site is rapidly becoming a homestead for dimbulb homers who just want to argue and ignore facts.

It doesnt work that way. You cant pick and choose what you like and then say one city is more dense than another. For that matter, why dont I take uptown Dallas and compare it to Echo Park in LA and say that Dallas is more dense than LA?

I hear ya. This site is turning into a bunch of losers (from all over) who just want bragging rights. Thats it. And bragging rights over stupid **** too (like which city has the most bathhouses, or what city has the most trees).

Also dont forget the ever popular "the MSA/CSA is unfair to my city, they need to include more cities".

Actually those 70 square miles is mostly rural. Plus San Antonio has about another 50-75K within it's inner incorporated bedroom cities. Alamo Heights, Kirby, leon Valley, Olmos park, Terrel hills, Windcrest, Hill Country Village, Shavano park all surrounded by San Antonio. San Antonio is more dense, plus it has several AFB bases within citiy limits.

You don't think Dallas has some of the same things? Seriously...

Yeah that big rural forest in South Dallas is still counted towards Dallas. So if you do the same thing for San Antonio, you do the same for Dallas.

I love the DFW and Houston arguments though.

Houstonians say, if you didn't have Fort Worth, you would be slightly bigger than Seattle is right now.

Dallasites return the favor and say, if you didn't annex all of your suburbs to keep the tax money, you'd be the 25th largest city at best, Houston.

Fort Worth is not a suburb of Dallas. However, Tarrant County is a suburb to Dallas County. Wierd but true.

You left out the part about where they argue over who has the most trees.
