Again Polo, what difference does it make to this thread how much of New York State's wealth comes from New York City? The city is still part of New York State. You do understand New York State INCLUDES New York City?
Again, this thread is STATE vs STATE, not STATE vs. CITY.
Exactly, that's why NYC having a higher GDP than Texas top 10 cities put together should IRRELEVANT when Texas has the slightly higher GDP overall than the state of NY. No one said TX should be number 1, but one would have to be CRAZY to think TX isn't up there with NY in importance. CA is far and ahead of both anyway.

Yes, it is STATE VS. STATE. But given that, why would NYC be more than all the Texas cities combined? DFW-Houston can stay on par with NYC economically, both together have a larger number of Fortune 500 companies than NYC, and the port of Houston is larger than NYC, and lets not forget their GDP would be on par with NYC. STATE VS. STATE, Texas is leading with NYS following it. Just as California is leading with Texas following it.

I am not sure if I am following you. Are you trying to say that New York State should not count NYC's wealth because it is not fair to Texas?

No, I think ALL of NY state should be counted, from LI to Niagara Falls. Someone was trying to say that NYC has a higher GDP than all of Texas largest cities put together, but that's irrelevant, because TX as a WHOLE has a slightly higher GDP then NY as a WHOLE. That person was trying to use NYC to show people how MASSIVE NYC's economy is because NYC by it's self is comparable to Texas largest cities put together as far as economy goes. But that's irrelevant.

Look at your post --- your still comparing just NYC with the entire Lone Star State! I am not saying New York City is not a great Alpha city but this is not the subject of the thread.

No I don't think that's what he meant. I follow what he was trying to say, and he can correct me if I'm wrong but this is what it sounds like:
It's irrelevant to compare NYC supreme over 10 Texas cities because yes, we're talking about State to State.
He acknowledges that NYC's GDP is higher than any city in Texas, but not more than 10 combined cities in Texas.
Also that there is a lack of support in NYS's GDP from up state NY, as compared to Texas having a diverse economy and every city contributing efficient amounts to keep the state of Texas ahead of NY, in GDP growth and total GDP numberings.

That is EXACTLY what I was trying to say, WORD for WORD.

Whatthedevil? In my post I compared NYC to DFW-Houston NOT the whole state of Texas.
I already acknowledged that it's a state to state conversation. And for the record I acknowledge that NYC ranks supreme comared to any ONE single city in Texas.
Do you acknowledge Texas's GDP is higher than NYS?
Ohh and if you're talking about my statement in the last post saying "Texas is leading with NYC following it", it was a typo, I meant to type NYS, but accidentally wrote NYC, I know NYC isn't a state. I'm sorry for the misconception if you misunderstood what I meant.

Ok, I hear you Polo.
For the record of some NYC people --- NYC would not even exist in its current form if it was not for the State of New York.
It was the STATE which built the Erie Canal, which led to NYC exploding in population (not to mention Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Toledo, Chicago, Milwaukee etc).
It was the STATE which allowed NYC to annex the 200+ year old surrounding communities in Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, Staten Island etc. They could have instead kept NYC penned up on Manhattan Island and made a Metropolitian area instead.
It is the STATE which allows New York City to draw almost its ENTIRE WATER SUPPLY from the Delaware, Croton Valley and Catskill Mountains.
I think you get the picture!

Well, before you fixed it you wrote "Texas is leading with NYC following", what the hell am I supposed to think, LOL.
Yes, I know Texas has a larger GDP and population than New York.
