Is the Los Angeles CSA really bigger than the entire state of South Carolina and I have even heard Georgia? From looking at a population map I don't see it but I might be wrong here is a link to the LA csa: CaliforniaPopulationMap | CaliforniaMaps
I'm more than certain it's not bigger than both states in terms of land area, but in terms of population, the Los Angeles CSA is indeed more populous than the states of SC and GA combined.

What do you guys think?
Its not really a matter of opinion.
The LA CSA has about 30,000 sq miles which is about the same size as South Carolina. Georgia has 57,000 sq miles.
And that map you picked really dispells the huge myth that LA is spread out over 30,000 square miles. Fact is, most people in LA are concentrated in the southwestern part of the CSA. Most of the CSA is totally undeveloped.

Only the far western portions of San Bernardino and Riverside counties are urbanized. I think its kind of ridiculous that the entire county is included in the Los Angeles CSA when the eastern sides are much closer to Las Vegas than Los Angeles, plus that being totally undeveloped (not just rural, but completely desolate of civilization).

Well it's not ridiculous, that CSA has to be constructed the same way as any other, it just happens that those two are pretty large counties. I'm sure one day someone'll make a good case for them to be redrawn, but at the moment, annoyingly, the CSA will seem way less dense than it is.
LA is larger than south carolina with 87,000 km2 and a population of nearly 20,500,000
Er, according to the 2010 Census, the LA CSA had 17,877,006.
