KC is not the most amazing place in the country, but it would surprise 99% of people that have never spent any time there. People just don't expect what KC is really like. Right off the bat, they figure out it's mostly in Missouri, it's not flat and it's very lush and green. That's even before they really see what the city even offers.

Because this is about Southern cities and KC is a midwestern city.
I just find it kind of funny how when I see photos of Miami, I almost never see the streets of Downtown. It's always the skyline from the bay or an aerial. It just doesn't have that grittiness or compactness feel that Atlanta has.
Posters from Miami love to tout that 11k density number, but a good portion of that is all of those people living in the highrises that have setbacks at street level and do nothing for the pedestrians. It also helps that your municipal limits are barely 35 square miles so you are likely not have much land that's not in use like Atlanta. Trust me, visiting Miami quite a few times, it does not feel as dense as Chicago or Boston or more dense than Log Angeles.
You still have Miami Beach, which Atlanta has no answer for, in terms of density and activity.

This is where I say people overrate Miami's urbanity. People like to think it isn't like the rest of the South because of its density but in reality, it is. Miami is a car cultured city just like the rest of the South. Miami is nowhere near as urban as DC let alone Philadelphia or Chicago which are cities that have equal density.
