Dallaz, that comes straight from Uncle Sam in particular the office of management and budget. Seeing as how they are the ones who define it, I'm pretty sure it's official. Note, doesn't mean it makes sense but it is official . Fort Worth is not a suburb of Dallas, actually the Fort Worth Metropolitan division has more people than the Dallas Metropolitan Division.

It's on par with Minneapolis-St. Paul, Chicago and Gary, San Francisco, San Jose and Oakland. Same scenario

Some suburbs have skyscrapers.

Look at downtown Mesa for example.

Ok.

It's kinda weird because DFW operates as one metro.

Here's the counties (Source Wikipedia)
chop off some counties. You all don't need Delta.

Dude, have you ever been to Fort Worth? Fort Worth has everything a normal city would have, a suburb doesn't.

it seems he is confused.

Dallas and FW are almost the same age. Both were incorporated somewhere around 1855. They developed as cities. Besides, suburbs were not invented back then


Anyway, to answer the question of this thread, here is what Wikipedia says:

Quote:
Mesa is the third-largest city in Arizona, after Phoenix and Tucson, the 37th-largest city and largest suburb in the US. Despite being home to 439,041 as of 2010, reported by the Census Bureau, making its population larger than more recognizable cities such as Miami, Minneapolis, St. Louis, and Cleveland, Mesa is decidedly a bedroom community

Well, only 5,231 people live in that county. Heck, we have schools in Dallas that's bigger than that. We should bus them to Dallas County.

BTW Collin County has two L's
