Most urban southern metro outside of South Florida? (bigger, Chicago, beach)

[kimumingyu]

Hotlanta, Dallas and Houston.

[R1070]

New Orleans (not on list) Houston on list.

That's why I said Baltimore and DC are two metros that could be added.

Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, New Orleans are all more urban than all of the OP cities...

This isn't a comprehensive listing of Southern cities, its "the South, south of Virginia", with a weird Nola exclusion...

Hampton Roads is pretty urban throughout. It doesn’t have tall edge cities but it has miles and miles and miles of walkable neighborhoods on a grid with curbs and sidewalks from the western edge of Newport News to Greenbrier in Chesapeake 35 miles to the east.

They all seem tied to me except San Antonio.

If talking about metropolitan areas.

They could be added and then excluded, just as south Florida was.

I don’t think Austin or Charlotte are as urban as Dallas, Houston, and Atlanta in their metros.

Can't speak for Charlotte (I haven't left the airport there), but Austin is just smaller than these other metros moreso than "less urban".

These cities are all very suburban at the metro level. I'd probably pick Houston as the most urban outside of downtown, as it has consistent medium density inside the loop (which is quite a large area, though still a smaller percentage of the metro).

For most urban downtown it's probably Atlanta, at least during business hours.

Your second part is why I said that. I think Houston and Dallas at least sustain their density longer than Austin.
