when i first went to austin (circa 2002), it was very close to Nola in population

the reason the comparison is made is b/c it's kept on making itself better while Nola has gotten worse (lost a ton of major companies/jobs in that timespan and lost population iirc)

I think the assumption that Dallas or Atlanta is what all cities should aspire to be is a flawed one.

Nola can and should do more to address the structural problems we all acknowledge exist, but I think you can do that without turning into another cookie cutter corporate playground

FWIW - I think Austin may be number 11. San Antonio is top 10 though for city proper...still bigger than Dallas proper.
