Jesus Christ!!! The number I gave was 33,886,025. The article says 33.9 million. The article and I are in agreement. Youre the one who challenged my data, not the article.
Just stop dude, you lose this round. Stick to arguing about Miami's nightlife.
You try to make Miami seem less than it is Like it is beyond orlando. ****.
I've explained this before, the reason why Miami's GDP isn't as high as other major cities is because the city limits are so small, some 35 sq mi. If you include the whole metropolitan area the GDP goes way up. The City Of Miami is one of the poorest in the country, but South Florida Metropolitan Area is one of the richest in the country.

Um...GDP's look at entire metro areas (if you go by the BEA).
what about the redbird/executive airport on the south side?
Only DFW and Love Field have scheduled service from the Metroplex.
From Houston its only Hobby and Bush.
From South Florida its Miami International, West Palm Beach, and Fort Lauderdale.
From Atlanta, only Hartsfield is around.
Just goes to show Miami is more important than dallas in the SOuthern united states.
How though? It's GDP is smaller, Miami is not growing as fast and has actually lost people domestically recently, Dallas has more Fortune companies (and probably companies in general), etc. Miami is nice and is an important city, but it's not as important as Dallas.
I know people like to say none of the main four cities in the South are above each other. That may have been true back in 2000 or 2001. If you look at their economies/GDP then, they were all about the same size. Then, as the decade went on, Houston and Dallas starting distancing themselves from the other two. Once the recession hit, people from those two cities starting moving to Houston and Dallas. So, in my opinion, they are not all equal anymore. Houston and Dallas are distancing themselves.
That is true, Texas has faired very well through the recession. Theres no denying the GDP powerhouses of Houston and Dallas.
