But how soon would you get bored of a New Orleans? Even if N.O. is a better setup city, I wonder which would get old living in more quickly.

You mean getting bored with Atlanta correct? I have only visited both, I'm sure some people have lived/visited or lived/lived.
I hear the arts scene in Atlanta is exponentially weak for a city it's size.

Metro Atlanta is setup very differently than Metro New Orleans.
New Orleans, LA Urbanized Area - ACS Demographic and Housing Estimates: 2007-2009

New Orleans urban area 2009 estimates is 813,859
I thought something was strange I mean the 2010 MSA is 1,167,764
I don't think the area is right too, The whole MSA is 3,755.2 sq. mi, that's the 1.1 million.

Jefferson Parish is 432,552 in 642 sq mi
Orleans Parish 343,829 in 180.6 sq mi

Where is the 1,009,283 in just 197 sq miles is coming from? I don't where wikipedia got that from.

Atlanta, GA Urbanized Area - ACS Demographic and Housing Estimates: 2007-2009

Then That's was the 2000 Atlanta urban area population, Atlanta Urban area was
4,141,323 in 1,962 sq miles 2009 estimates.

I believe much of that is uninhabitable land.

I thought that at first too but if the MSA is 3,755.2 sq. mi with 1.1 million. it's odd to have over 90% of the MSA in the urban area.

The MSA is 3,755.2 sq. miles
The urban area is 197 sq miles.

The MSA 1.1 million
The urban area is 1 million

Overall 90% of 3,755.2 sq. mi in region population in 197 sq mile.

This is already broke by the fact

Jefferson Parish is 432,552 in 642 sq mi, and Orleans Parish 343,829 in 180.6 sq mi. Neither are over a million and even if one was "lets say Orleans, it still conflicted with 90% of the MSA being in 197 sq miles, because Jefferson Parish is 432,552. Heck you take both away and still have few 100,000 left spread out in the MSA. The MSA is just 1.1 million.

Has to be a typo. Orleans Parish is roughly 180sq mi (land) and is at roughly 343k.

Urban Area does not include swamp land though that isn't built on.
