I think it's awesome that a city of just 1.3 million in the metro and barely 350k in the city is close to the ranks of Chicago, D.C., San Francisco, and Philly.
I agree. NOLA punches well above the waist with ALOT of things.
^^^You'd be surprised, then, at how much foot traffic parts of DTLA receive. And yes, it matters. The place we say has a lot of foot traffic in NOLA is teeeeeennnnyyyyyy tiny. Barely big enough to be considered a neighborhood in SF or NYC. That's not to say it doesn't punch WAYYYYY above its weight. But as spread out and autocentric as LA is, we're talking the core of a region of 20 million people. It *will* have higher foot traffic and a busier downtown with its "form" of urbanity extending out way further. Plus, pretty sure LA receives more tourists - they flock and fill the sidewalks of Hollywood probably more than the French Quarter. Hollywood feels like a larger, grander area. Tough to compare, no matter how urban NOLA is when it's a metro of about a million.
Yes it is, for NOLA to even be on this list with those GIANTS says alot. It punches well above the waist and as I've stated is one of the most urban cities in America without question.

Maybe so, but the palce where you say where NOLA has a lot of foot traffic is not the only place in NOLA with moderate to heavy foot traffic. FACT

It shouldn't be on that list tho. The population of New Orleans living at densities of 10,000ppsm or more (a relatively low cutoff for "urban") is 46,500, which puts it right between Allentown, PA and Stamford, CT. The built form is relatively dense for the Southern US and the French Quarter can get kind of busy, yes, but New Orleans is in no way one of the most urban cities in America.
Was semi-recently in Orlando (downtown and Disney), and it takes a good while to go between the two. The natives I know said that meeting me out at Downtown Disney was the first time they'd been out there in almost a decade. When I went to visit folks in town, I was surprised at how quiet/dead/whatever you want to say, it was. Very little going on, for the size of the metro at least. Definitely belongs on the bottom of that list.
Why you say that b/c its bigger? For example, Houston and Dallas are waaayyyy bigger than NOLA but most people will tell you NOLA is more urban than both.

This part is definitely not true at all but we'll agree to disagree, its all good.
