I'm talking in terms of development and you do know that 3/4 of that 350 sq mi is water right? Let's compare zip code densities between New Orleans and Atlanta. Anybody that has been to either city can tell you that NOLA is definitely compacted compared to ATL. NOLA's suburbs have higher avg. densities than the city of Atlanta so...
You sure about that?? For someone whose first comment towards me was about over exaggerating you sure do allot of that yourself..
3/4???? Your sure about that?
Land area- 180.6 miles
Water- 169.7 sq. miles
Either way the 180.6 square miles is bigger than the 132.6 Atlanta has...
And even still to try and put crime in Atlanta even in the same ballpark as New Orleans is an even bigger stretch
New Orleans has 200,000 less people but still manages to put up crime stats that dwarf anything in Atlanta
Atlanta with 200,000 more people had 80 murders in 2009, New Orleans had 179.
But yeah your right, Im sure thats due to the large black upper class in New Orleans huh?? lol
Lets not even touch on the pre Katrina years when New Orleans was putting up numbers well into the 300's
Wow, I haven't been over there in a while. Interesting.
This was about a year ago, but I was a bit taken aback especially since Oakwood was always one of those places that I would go to get away from all of the craziness on the other side of the river. Who knows, maybe there was something going on that weekend, but it definitely wasn't the Oakwood that I remember (peoplewise).
There are more educational opprotunities and better schools here In Atlanta... Thats a fact. There are more people in Atlanta that hold degrees than N.O thats fact. None of the schools in N.O are top HBCUs All of Atlantas HBCUs beat out N.O in school rankings With Spealman being Number 1.. Thats why I said for educational opprotunities Atlanta sweeps.. ANd with with Transportation thats enough to sweep N.O.. LIke I said before Partying festivals and Food Are the only things. Sorry Westbanknola. N.O can not compete with Atlanta. It will sweep the floor in almost every catergory. YOu guys stick to what your good at Tourism food super bowls essence and jazz festivals etc.. Leave everything else to Atlanta...
I can keep going with HBCU rankings or do you want me to google Atlanta Public Schools instead?
And seriously for a city designed for cars, Atlanta iis a poor excuse for transportation. The fact that it has Heavy rail is the only real edge in that category.

If it is a choice between Atlanta and New Orleans, then I pick Atlanta. There are many things I don't like about metro Atlanta in general, but I have been to New Orleans. For some reason, I can't see myself living in New Orleans.

Dude half of that 180 is swamp. LOOK AT A MAP. Only 1/4 of the NO city limits is inhabitable.
Didn't I clearly say that as far as crime it's the same problem, but with different numbers? I told you what NOLA's main problem was, then asked what was Atlanta's. You didn't even respond.

So New Orleans has swamps in the inner city now??? Not Honey Island or St Bernard Parrish 60 miles outside the city but in the inner city?? C'mon dude seriously? Because I didnt get sq miles for metro New Orleans, that was for the city itself.
And of course Atlanta has the same problems with crime. In any city in America most of the crime is drug related in the lower income areas. But if New Orleans has allot more crime with allot less people wouldnt that say something in regards to the overall number and prevalance of crime in the city? New Orleans problem in comparison to Atlanta is that there is a much larger black lower class in the N.O. Point blank, period, end of story.

Look at the map, You'll will see that the city of New Orleans contains half of Lake Pontchartrain, the swamps to the east and the bays of the gulf.
No, the story is far from over. Post some stats with % of lower class blacks in either city.

LOL..... thats why the 350.2 sq. miles is broken down to include land and water.
Like I said before of that 350.2 sq. miles, 180.6 is land and the other 169.6 is water. Either figure is larger than the 136 or something like that sq. miles that Atlanta has. So unless you have something that can dispute the US Census then it appears that this story is indeed over
There are only 3 street car routes in all of New Orleans. MARTA has a subway. Guess which one has 25 times the daily ridership?
Canal-Cemetaries
St. Charles
N. Carrollton
Riverfront
lol, that's 4 with 3 coming. Atlanta still wins that.
Streets, highways, and buses, we win.
