Nicely written. See the reasonable people post their opinions without insults, innuendos and rhetoric.

Exactly...CMSA's are somewhat subjective to demographer's perceptions and are always, seemingly, evolving.

Would you move to one because of statistics

I prefer the northeastern cities over the west coast because of the people. I will take Philly over San Francisco.

Just drive down I-95 in Philadelphia vs route 101(Golden Gate Bridge) in to San Francisco and one can easily tell which area is more impressive,more clean and more classy of a city.To heck with all this metro garbage ,it is all about first impressions.

If were comparing people, it's not even close. The SF Bay Area is by far the most progressive and socially conscious region in the US if not the world.

It's the people that make it this way.

Those numbers would gladly be appropriated if warranted-the opinions of NY and DC would be totally irrelevent and have no bearing.

We're a broken record already about this.

I guess some have their ears plugged.

I totally agree; especially true when you first talk to a city's residents.

the tone of this thread:

Philly: Philly is actually as big as Chicagoland.
SF: No its not.
Philly: Yes it is.
SF: No its not.
Philly: You and the Census Bureau can **** off.
SF: We can **** till we turn blue and Philly is still not as big as Chicagoland.
Philly: Yes it is.
