I cast my vote for Houston, though it was a tough call.
Dallas seems to have more pedestrian activity, but since people can gather in a cornfield, I don't think that should count for anything. What ultimately tipped the scale for Houston was the built environment of their downtown at street level coupled with their not insignificant 3600 ppsm maintained across over 700 square miles.
Even with (seemingly, I could be wrong) less pedestrian traffic downtown, Houston's built environment appears commensurate with a giant city, couldn't quite get there with Dallas.
Dallas has a better collection of neighborhoods and seems to have more emphasis on pedestrian infrastructure between the two. Those who have voted Houston, what neighborhoods are you comparing? Just curious as I may have missed something offered in Houston.

This one looks like the closest comparison yet. I would say Dallas might be slightly, just slightly a bit more urban than Houston just because the average neighborhood have a bit more concrete pour. Population of city limits doesn't matter since both metros are about the same size.
I want to take the vote back but I already voted. Houston does feel like a "bigger" city driving across.
Want to also add that Houston does feel like it has a slightly more "urban culture".

because urbanism isn’t solely tied to pedestrianism. They affect each other but don’t defin eachother. And then you tie in that Dallas is nonetheless a car centric city and feels like one. This isn’t an obvious choice
