Yes Atlanta does have 233 skycrapers, but alot of them are in buckhead the city is more based on automobile transpotation. The city is not street friendly for walkers or bikers cincinatti is just more urban.

Lol, for real! Cincy is the last city to get on Atlantas case on that given their bus only system only manages 24,000 trips a day while atlantas subway and bus system does half a million a day. And alot of the tall buildings are in Buckhead...like just 1/4 of them. The rest are in Downtown and Midtown.
For this thread:
Cincy's Urban environs = Old and (sadly) busted
Atlanta's Urban environs = New hotness...with some of the old goodness mixed in
I mean seriously, people need to get off this asthetic trip. There is more than way urban looks.
The problem is everything is so spread out in Atlanta people have to take public transportation to get anywhere. In cin---- Things are more dense people can whalk and are close in its more urban not suburban.I didnt say better Because if I had a chance to visit either city I would chose Atlanta just saying its not urban.

That's a rather odd argument...
FYI, you could walk between neighborhoods in Atlanta, but why do that long distance when you can take a train?
That first video is so full of crap it's laughable. First of all the statistics she's throwing out are based on the assumption that people are uniformly spread out over that huge area she shows. When in fact people are far more concentrated towards the center of that area.
Like I said before if you take Metro Atlanta's Fulton, Dekalb, Cobb and Gwinnet Counties they have in 1588 square miles 1 million more people than Cincinnati's entire 6700 square mile Metro area.
Or in other words 3/5's of Metro Atlanta's population live in an area that is less than 1/4 the size of that huge 8,000+ square mile area she kept going on about.
Then the picture she showed of smog in Atlanta wasn't even Atlanta. It was Los Angeles.
Also, was the tornado that hit New York a month ago causing major damage in Brooklyn caused by sprawl? There have always been lots of tornado's in the South. Long before there was any such thing as sprawl.
The low levels in Lake Lanier she spoke of was due to a drought that was the worst Atlanta had seen in over a hundred years. Since then rainfall has been back to normal and water levels in the Lake are high.
