Why do you fight the obvious?

According to the 2010 Census Cincinnati and Dayton are already considered an Urban Agglomeration. As is Cleveland-Akron-Canton-Lorain-Elyria. And it would buoy the Dayton region as well. Dayton's problems (The city of Dayton) are there and need to be addressed on their own.

Scroll down the link, look up the definition for agglomeration, and come back with something really backhanded and negative to say. When you are finished head back over to C-Bus to find the safest wal-mart.

He has a very good reason for fighting the obvious. Isolated Columbus, which has no possible partner to create its own metroplex, would be a distant third to Cincinnati and Cleveland in Ohio - in just about every meaningful way.

Columbus - an island to itself.

It didn't seem to hurt Ft Worth. Ft Worth is now bigger than Cincinnati.

This is VERY good news for Dayton.
Various contributors will ALWAYS persist in denying the existence of CIN-DAY. So pu-leeze don't encourage any of these notorious skeptics (the majority of whom are motivated by envy) by continuing to direct them to the obvious. This only encourages their typical knee-jerk response of either an apologetic dissertation, an ear-piercing LALALALALA mantra, or a deluge of computer-generated statistics that could easily threaten our net-servers--so please use discretion.

If based an an actual census, sure. I, like many, take estimates for what they are. I already said that I'm a fan of Dayton, because I think it probably takes more crap than any metro in the state or is totally forgotten. But I also don't take a single, 1-year estimate that has followed decades of population loss as gospel. I hope it's true, but I'd like to see, at the very least, future estimates continue to show that trend before I offer congratulations. I think you took my post to be something it really wasn't.

Fight what obvious? I asked a legitimate question. Could Dayton maintain a true, independent identity as, let's face it, a very secondary part of Cincinnati's larger metro?

For being a "distant third", you guys sure do panic and become incredibly defensive at every mention of it. I didn't mention Columbus at all and you have 50 people rushing in to trash it. You sure took my posts about Dayton completely wrong.

Dayton is not and has never been a Ft. Worth, so that's apples and oranges.

So no one thinks it could potentially hurt Dayton in the long run?
