East Austin, TX:

Inman Park, Atlanta, GA:

Austin (East Cesar Chavez) has better streetlights, as well as a better identity outside of a rich, up and coming neighborhood. East Cesar Chavez looks more southwestern, but Inman Park looks like many other similar areas in other cities.

I'll go with East Liberty due to its urbanity...An intra metro match up.

Center Square, Albany NY: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.6541...7i13312!8i6656

Tough choice. I’m a big fan of both. Center Square is such a unique, dense and historic urban area. The brick tree lined street is beautiful. Stockade District is cool because you could drop that neighborhood in Pennsylvania or Virginia and it would fit in perfectly. It also gives you a bit more stretching room, but is still just as charming as it’s Albany counterpart. I’m going to favor Schenectady by a hair because of the diversity in buildings, which seem slightly better maintained, and quaint residential feel.

Sticking with a similar theme...

Whittier, Minneapolis, MN:

I'll go with Cathedral Hill due to the tree cover and it seems to be a little bit more continuously urban.

Continuing with the theme of intra metro neighborhoods.

Kerrytown. I'd probably rather be in a close-in neighborhood of Detroit than either, but Ypsilanti looks like a typical micropolitan area even if it's technically part of an MSA; Ann Arbor would have a lot more to do.

The Atlanta neighborhood.

I like the narrow streets and gritty feel. Also, more interesting retail options.

Bibb City at least sidewalks and I'd go with that.

I'll go with Hot Springs due to the more diverse architecture. They also set up really good streetlights.
