Or as a comparator - the area where Jersey City and Newark reside (Hudson and Essex county) have a population of 1.4 million over 190 sq miles by comparison Austin TX has a population of 786K over 296 sq miles or a place like Seattle with a population of 617K over 217 sq miles - you tell me which area is more or less significant...

Lol yeah was a little sarcasm sorry and actually Seattle has 83 square miles of land you were looking at 217 kilometers. Seattle is small also for a city but pointe well taken.

Great list. This is a more current descriptions of cities. I would make some ammedments though.

1.) Chicago is not an eastern city... if you want to say Northern city that it'll work and it also belongs in upper midwest and a part belongs in the rust belt

2.) I would put B-more with DC and Virginia in an area that is basically I gray area between the northeast and the deep south.

3.) I would have Miami alone in the Carribean city category

4.) I would put Miami and merge the Southern California cities in the sunbelt.

5.) I would also put LA in the Western Hippy category

6.) Boston belongs in the New England sector too.

Ah yes my bad - not sure why Seattle was listed with KM still Hudson county in NJ (JC/Hoboken etc.) is 47 sq miles and 608K

I think people see NYC and Hudson Co. as synonymous since it's in NYC's metro

Someone needs to take a look at a map.

Chicago isn't in the East. It's in the very heart of the Midwest.

Chicago is the Capital of the Rust Belt. Why you're placing it on the Atlantic Seaboard is a mystery to me.

Virginia is southern, theres no gray area in that state it has way too many confederate roads, memorials, etc....

Bmore and DC are gray areas between the NE and the south, not the deep south lets not get carried away slim.
