I really do like some to Row Home stock in DC, Southern influence and a NE density pretty interesting to me
Could you explain this again. Where is the Southern influence? Is it because of the porches? There are rowhomes in DC that are right on the street like you will see in Philadelphia. Especially around the U Street area.

Yes, the architectural elements of them, not the way they face the street.
More federalist style if that makes sense Regardless I really like the looks of them. I am often surprised at how quickly architectural style can change just south of Philly , well Baltimore maybe has a little more of both
Also, the DC CSA is 8.7 million people, which is significantly larger than Atlanta's.
That's only because it includes Baltimore which is a mid-major city in its own right and was historically the larger of the two. Atlanta has to hold the region down all on its own.
These figures look similar, but they ignore some crucial things like population density and urban area. Also, the DC CSA is 8.7 million people, which is significantly larger than Atlanta's.
Of course it does....DC-Baltimore CSA is the reason why.
I compared the two cities and their metropolitan areas alone. I'm not trying to boost any numbers to make one area look better than the other. It was just a simple comparison...city vs. city and metro vs. metro.
DC definitely. However I think Atlanta has so much more potential. With the right planning and infilling, Atlanta could take chicago's place and be the 'second city'.

Well my opinion is subjective but, Atlanta has a lot of land to work with. It has a lot of empty lots, parking lots that can be built on, open space that can be used. All it has to do is learn from the mistakes other cities have made. It has a good foundation. A subway system thats relatively good, a nice mix of corporations, with the busiest airport in the world (i think). Atlanta's foundation to me is stronger than anybodies. L.A. is nice and all, but trust me, hollywood is the best it's got.
Atlanta won't be passing L.A. anytime soon in population simply because L.A. is older. But back to comparing ATL to DC, the latter is definitely more urban.
