wow.... i literally do not know what to say here. a city is a city is a city is a city is a city is a city.... what's the big deal?
lol, don't listen to Kidphilly , his mission on CD is to discredit Houston. It is his primary target since Houston passed Philly on metro population.
He thinks if you say it is not a city then it is disqualified and Philly gets back the title
take a look at his posts. Every other one is about Houston
what he heard (you know they are always twisting words):
The topic of this thread:
a response from some one who has common sense:
But I guess they will twist your words too. I say Houston feels bigger they say show me how it is more urban. City Data needs to start handing out eye glasses, I probably need some because the Seattle posters must be seeing some special code in posts that no one else can see
NOVA has a huge GDP does that make it feel more like a big city. GDP is a function of population and business, now does larger GDP usually correlate with larger Metros, absolutely but jobs support population or people to where jobs are, these jobs/companies produce the GDP. so GDP is a correlated measure of how large metro is but has ZERO to do with how urban or city-like a city is
yeah... i couldn't get the part either about "cars rule" constituting a suburb either. i scratched my head a little and thought about responding.
The Southern part of Switzerland for example (near Carouge I believe) is very densely populated. just rows and rows of san fransisco stuck together type houses. But people travel there mainly by car. When you go further north to areas like Geneva you start finding electric rails like the ones in Houston.
The city to city rail in Switzerland, however, are among the best in Europe in terms of scope. Those things stop everywhere

i'm just still trying to figure out why "population" is such a high thing to claim for. i mean it's not like any city is going to catch up with new york anyways.

it is a boundary defined by a municipality
and no HTown (I don't knwo how to multi quote), Houston "city" population passed Philly a long time ago, MSA will have or will in the future. On US no, not for a while, the metric that best sizes the "City"
It actually has less to with population and more with inane boosts that lack logic, I see this with Atlanta as well
And HTown, those who cast stones should not live in glass houses, you refuse to accept any metrics adverse to HTown while glorifying those beneficial

Nova is a suburb of DC which is a big city. Are you saying DC is not big?
and GDP is not an accurate measure of metro size.
Houston has a far larger GMP than its metro would suggest, and Phoenix has a far smaller GMP than its metro would suggest.

I see you have picked up the Seattle nack for twisting words. I said metro not city. You are the only one holding out hope that Philly metro is still larger than Houston Metro.
But if it makes you happy, you can go around saying Philly has a larger metro, and throw in a couple of vibrants and densities while you are at it

I think he is holding on to the past, when Philly had more rank

I see you're not used to big city words. The "stuck together type houses" are called row houses. Lmao, I'm just messing with you though . By the way, it's San Francisco.
