Not even close. There's no neighborhood in Miami or Atlanta comparable to the historic built form in New Orleans.
I'm not talking about "historic built" im talking about in terms of urban density, and housing stock. Miami and Atlanta are way more dense than New Orleans.

No, New Orleans is far more dense in terms of urban neighborhoods.
Have you been to Miami or (especially) Atlanta? Can you name one neighborhood in Atlanta comparable to the historical neighborhoods of New Orleans?
Seems like it would be New Orleans from street activity, downtown/French Quarter, and Magazine St. Does Richmond have anything that compares to Magazine St other than Broad?
Carytown would be a much better comparison. Richmond is a very different city though. It doesn't have the same entertainment-centric culture nor the tourism which is why New Orleans would have more foot traffic. IMO, NO is more urban when considering everything that matter.
Carytown looks pretty cool. Is there alot of foot traffic coming out of the neighboring neighborhoods? Is it a social kind of experience? I don't see alot of open air restaurants or many nightlife options. Reminds me of a less urban looking Magazine St.

Yeah, there is a lot of foot traffic coming out of the neighborhoods especially in the summer. There are outdoor restaurants, but its not exclusively bars and restaurants, there are a lot of clothing and boutique stores out there even a old timey theater

Are you serious? Atlanta excels in historic neighborhoods...Grant Park, Ormewood Park, Candler Park, Ansley Park, Inman Park, Virginia-Highland, Historic Midtown, Sweet Auburn, West End, Old Fourth Ward, Cabbagetown, East Atlanta, Castleberry Hill, Kirkwood, and on and on and on. I'm not part of the density discussion, but there are loads of these historic neighborhoods, many of them pre-1900.
He was talking raw numbers. Atlanta has thousands up in those high rise buildings.
But apartment buildings have like to do with relative urbanity.
Atlanta has tons of apartment buildings relative to New Orleans, but that doesn't make it more urban.
Heck, Miami has a much higher proportion of apartment buildings than even Chicago, SF, LA, DC, Boston, or Philly. Anyone want to argue that Miami is more urban than Chicago, SF, Boston or Philly?
Miami has the second highest % of multifamily in the U.S., after NYC. Anyone here want to claim that Miami is the second most urban city in the U.S.?

Can you explain which of those is more urban than New Orleans neighborhoods?
The answer is none. These neighborhoods are rather suburban in nature. Many don't even have sidewalks. Some are old, but not compared to New Orleans, and none are urban compared to New Orleans. There isn't one Atlanta neighborhood where homes front directly on the street, which is typical in New Orleans.
Atlanta is possibly the least urban major metropolis on earth. There are neighborhoods just outside of downtown that don't even have sidewalks, and that could be mistaken for a typical U.S. suburb, 20 miles from a city center.
