Big sister/little sister cities (similar cities of different sizes) (Atlanta, Los Angeles)

[Akhenaton06]

OK so we have the peer city thread; now, which cities have obvious size differences but could pass for big sister/little sister cities?

[Akhenaton06]

I suppose I'll start off:

Atlanta--Charlotte
Los Angeles--Houston or Miami
Dallas--Forth Worth or OKC
Phoenix--Albuquerque?
New Orleans--Savannah or Charleston

Maybe someone from Ohio could tell me if I am completely wrong, but it seems like Cleveland and Toledo could fit this well.

^Knowing what I know about both cities, that seems about right.

I would second the Los Angeles--Miami comment.

I'll try, is this just based on opinion? These all fit in my eyes to varying degrees.

Hartford, CT--Springfield, MA
Boston--Cambridge/Worcester, MA
Boston--Providence
NYC--Philadelphia (I'd call em brother cities lol)
NYC--Boston
Philadelphia--Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh--Buffalo
NYC--Chicago
NYC/Chicago--Toronto
Chicago--Detroit
Washington--Baltimore (Washington is clearly the big sister)
NYC--Jersey City
Newark--Jersey City
Boston--San Francisco
Los Angeles--San Diego
Phoenix--Las Vegas
Seattle--Portland

Well, just a buncha obvious ones, and maybe some ones other people might not agree with. I have more but, that'll do for now.

Baltimore-Washington is the first i think of! Same CSA, but one is larger.

These come across more as peer cities to me than big sibling/little sibling cities.

Pittsburgh PA - Knoxville, TN

The capital of "North Appalachia" and the capital of "South Appalachia."
