Does Houston's large size account for its large population? (Detroit: taxes, club)

More people per sq mile in Baltimore..
More people per sq miles means more urban like conditions.

Houston has a larger city population than
Baltimore, but a much smaller population Density.
Baltimore is built more urbanized, congested, bigger projects, inner city area is more cohesive.
Southern and Western cities like L.A, Phoenix, Houston, Dallas have large populations due to sprawling neighborhoods, not urban cores.
sprawled growth
Most large cities have outdoors newstands, fruitvendors, flower vendors, hot dog vendors, outdoors markets, efficient public transport, huge train stations, trains that run into nearby towns, etc...
but because of its inconvenient sprawl Houston has none of this. Sucks as a large "city"There is only parking lots and Warehouse department stores(like wal-marts ,HEB ,Target,fiesta etc) .If you want to take a walk around your neighborhood...forget about it..there is no place to walk unless you drive you damn car to go to a park for a walk...Driving...Driving...Driving...tra…No way to get around without a car.

Have you ever been to Houston? I'd like to know how long fruits and flowers will stay fresh when they're sitting in a cart in 100-degree-plus heat.

And I've lived in the Baltimore area. The Inner Harbor area is nice, but the city is not the bustling metropolis that you're trying to make it out to be.

I wasnt emphasizing about outdoor markets & fruits and flowers vendoors of baltimore, most .USA cities suck in regards to those things

If those points were irrelevant, why bring them up? It's counterproductive.

And there are hundreds of threads on this site talking about density in the NE states vs. Sunbelt states. We get it -- density works. It just works in a different way down here.

I see. I haven't been browsing these forums long enough to spot the serial trolls

More like three years.

So yeah, back on track, sort of....the inner loop is 110-ish square miles. Population's somewhere in the 500-600K range. That could stand alone as a major city, if not the fourth largest in the US.

Well Houston is a major city no matter how you look at it. How many cities can claim to have be in the 2M league. Only 4.

600,000 would not be 4th largest by any measure.
