That could be around the Perimeter area, particularly around the new State Farm campus. Have you been there recently? And when did I ever say Tokyo looked most similar to Atlanta (and actually meant it)?

So you have an idea of Arlington based on a little time in Crystal City? Most people base their experience on the Rosslyn - Ballston corridor. The urban part of Arlington isn’t a dunwoody, lol.

If anything. It feels like a bigger (not height wise) and more walkable/pedestrian friendly version of buckhead (the roads there are killer yuge and feels so auto-oriented) At least from my experience.

lol lol you really think Midtown is more urban then Arlington?? I still think they are more or less similar. What's obvious is that you don't know Arlington all too well since you think the that it feels more suburban then Midtown in its densest area. I guess you just drove through it on a highway.

When you made comments I didnt agree with,I didnt make any assumptions on why or how you came to those conclusions.Ive been in and around Arlington many times and most recently in Crystal City where I stayed with a friend in their high rise apartment
It matters not one bit what you wish to think.Yes Mistown is more urban than Arlington overall. Thats my opinion. I dont see why you cant just accept it even if you dont agree

You created an entire thread in the world forum saying how they are alike.... basically everyone disagreed. You also created many threads with Atlanta vs. London vs. Tokyo..... clearly you think Atlanta plays in that field.

The below is crystal city right by the airport.

Can you actually produce an area in dunwoody that looks like this?

Were you able to find any areas in the perimeter densely built like the links I shared? I assume no, bc it doesn't exist in the perimeter. I've provided maps, street views and photos. You've provided nothing.

Just confirming. In your opinion all of Midtown is more urban then even the densest areas of Arlington?

Got it. Just making sure I understand your point and others can read your delusion and bias.

They both have a distinct sterile feel as though they are artificial. Another example or comparison would be Atlantic Station.If Atlantic Station wasnt in Midtown and stood alone,I say they were the same.

They may be dense but they dont feel completely urban either

Sharing some dense areas of Perimeter and Dunwoody for reference since the Atlanta forumers wont.

It's hard to find densely packed areas because they all have large parking lots/garages and separated by large roads and shopping centers so if anyone from Atlanta can contribute a better angle, please do.

Arlington
