I dunno, Staten Island is pretty suburban. Same with parts of Queens. Hell, parts of Brooklyn have streets upon streets of single family homes with large yards that wouldn't look out of place in quaint Connecticut towns.

I hear a tree even grows there! No, that's really interesting. It would be amusing, more than anything, to try to define some kind of "absolute urban" by which all other locales can be measured for their urban-ness (or lack thereof... sub-urban-ness, I suppose) and, if found wanting, decorated with big-box stores and strip malls. So... how urban is Midtown Manhattan compared to Calcutta or Dubai?
- rayiner 11y agoDubai isn't dense, and Calcutta or Dhaka. Given Manhattan's extreme residential versus commuter population ratio (almost 2x), during the day Manhattan (if it were a city), may well be the densest in the world.
- brohoolio 11y agoI can picture these areas and they seem urban to me. But I'm from the Midwest where suburban means something different.
