No its not. Long Beach is a satellite city. Has its own port, light rail, and decent skyline. |

This is about as dumb as it gets.
Really Corpus have you ever been there?
Knoxville have you ever been there? |

It is producing more oil makes it the bigger company. Size goes by worth not number of employees. |

SA has more buildings downtown than Corpus (as it should). Compare: SA: Buildings of San Antonio Corpus: Buildings of Corpus Christi And for fun, Austin: Buildings of Austin |

That doesn't make it a larger company. There is more than just refining oil. As an overall company (and Fortune 500), it is not bigger. |

Unincorporated Northwest Harris County (and what many would define as Cypress/Klein), have a population of 800,000. And Long Beach isn't a suburb. Riverside and Irvine are examples of a suburb. They also anchor a side of the LA region though (Riverside for the Inland Empire: population four million; and Irvine for Orange County: population 2.5 million). |
Long Beach is in L.A county so it's a suburb,a component to the L.A metro. suburbs are incorprated cities.
Maybe this list below will anwser the Houston suburb significance. Houston's metro is considered a CSA not a MSA since it includes mutiple metro areas. San Antonio is a MSA since it doesnt have any other metros klumped together.

What are you trying to explain? I already told you and the same thing can be found on the Wikipedia page. And no, Houston is an MSA (and has a CSA, like every other major metro). Houston does not include other MSA areas in its MSA. That's absurd. Greater Houston - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Most people don't know what a Combined statistical area is. So the most poplular term is Metro area. Technically the Houston region is considered a CSA. You can look at the metro area separately but then it won't include Huntsville and Baytown which also considered it's own metro area. The government is always changing the definitons so it's hard to keep track.

What are you talking about? Houston's MSA definition is the Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown MSA. Houston's CSA includes Huntsville and Bay City micro-metro areas. Baytown is not in its own MSA. Half of the city itself is in Harris County, so how could it be?
