are you kidding me? 10% that would going metros together for 100's of miles.
10% is nothing. The current threshold is 25%
I meant 10% into the central area (one way) and by central area I mean the actual city (whose metro area we are defining), not the entire county.
I would be very surprised if more that 10% of people from SJ commute into San Francisco or from Fort Worth into Dallas. I know that even from Passaic county (which is about 15 miles from Manhattan) less than 10% commute into the City.

the commuting rate between the City of FW and Dallas is about 45%. A commuting rate of 10% would add small cities as far as longview to the DFW metro.

Isnt CSA 15% and MSA 25% Thought these aggregates (meaning to all counties) they build and accumulate so you dont need all 15% from one county to another

If that is true then I stand corrected, and they most certainly should be considered one metro.
It certainly is one metro. It is a really connected area. It should not be considered one area tho, like some try and make certain cities.
The Bay Areas, Minn ST Pauls, or DFWs cannot be ranked as a city.
When they make lists of downtowns and put two or three downtowns together doesn't make sense.
Ranking them with metros are fine because that is just fine, cause that is what a metro is, a collection of cities. It is not their fault that the two major cities grew up close together, but being that they are big cities close together they should be identified as such- two cities. But one metro.
Philly because many people make it seem like it is a suburb of NYC and that is the complete opposite. Philly is the 5th largest city and is very world class and cosmopolitan. Only unbiased people and people who visited or live there would know that.
It's funny cause i've never set foot in Portland let alone the state of Oregon, but from what i've hear, read and heard, i believe it's an underrated place to live.
No, trust me, Portland is OVERrated. It's half of what metro Seattle is, minus the big-city amenities and plus an increased level of small town "good old boy" crap. At least, Seattle isn't as provincial in how it populates its workforce. If you haven't been to the PNW, then I suggest you visit ... for a month in November. Also, don't think that politeness means friendliness. Lastly, between the two of them, if you can afford it, take Seattle.
