All of them are Big Cities except Inland Empire, I really don't understand it, what's the central city of The Inland Empire, when you hear "Inland Empire" unless your from California, what image comes to mind, I'm sure someone from California would say This City or That City, but people from the Eastern Half of the U.S such as my self really have No " Image" of the "Inland Empire" no pictures comes to mind, no city, or skyline comes to mind, I"d have to Google it, But for me personally, when I hear Inland Empire I really just think of an extension of Metropolitan L.A
Big cities to me are the top 10 msa's. You are guaranteed to experience big city options living there. St. Louis at 2.8 million is the absolute smallest city I would consider living in. I think of St. Louis and established msa's of same size as small big cities.
I personally am not a fan of cities that may have a huge population but struggle to establish itself. Those are overgrown towns

What do you mean by "struggle to establish itself"?

A big city in my opinion needs to be urban. That knocks out a few of the top 10. A couple others could replace them. It's all subjective obviously.

It's definitely subjective. When I think of a "big city," I'm considering the central city and its close-in suburbs. There are definitely some metros outside of the top 10 whose central city feels more urban than those of metros in the top 10 but they don't feel bigger.

Interesting.
There has to be urban neighborhoods in between the central city and suburbs to have a urban experience. City living is more than downtown.
