Which city is the LA of the South: Houston or Atlanta?

[Alvin]

Lol maybe if you're a Cac or Hispanic. Sure.

I'm talking from a financial standpoint on the world scale, "Houston's economy since the late 19th century has a broad industrial base in energy, manufacturing, aeronautics, and transportation. Leading in healthcare sectors and building oilfield equipment, Houston has the second-most Fortune 500 headquarters of any U.S. municipality within its city limits (after New York City). The Port of Houston ranks first in the United States in international waterborne tonnage handled and second in total cargo tonnage handled.

Swamps are in Texas and there are cacti in the south. You can look this stuff yp, you know....



Houston is nowhere close to the third most densely populated city. Not even close....

Houston probably is closer to LA, I've heard the comparison before but never been to Houston to see it. What I do know is it isnt nearly as densely populated as LA and lacks some of the higher level amenities that make LA what it is, but I imagine it has to be closer to LA than Atlanta...

Lived in Atlanta and nothing tangible reminds of LA. In the most inclusive sense I guess the fact that its an entertainment and pop culture mecca, as well as a city with a bunch of suburbs that feel like the inner city, those things are similar like LA, but nothing tangible reminds of LA at all...



Its either Houston or Atlanta and I'm comfortable calling it a tie. Both those two are the heavyweights of the South and you can make the argument for either. And you can't dismiss how whites and spicy whites feel about a place when overall both have a larger share of US population than we do...

Atlanta is entirely unique in being a major city that is majority black on the metropolitan level. Nowhere else is like Atlanta in that sense, so basing opinions on what you would see in Atlanta is flawed as Atlanta isnt representative of the average black community in America...

But I got Houston and Atlanta as co-capitals of the South. And oh yeah, white people love Atlanta...

it's actually 4th, it's not like it only has 100,000 people.

You said "cac or hispanic" separately, so it doesn't make since for you to lump them together now.

Cac = Non-hispanic white

Lets stay consistent. Houston has one of the smallest cac % of the major cities.

And by raw numbers saw the largest increase in black population. So, clearly it's an important city for black ppl nationwide, not just the south.
