Dallas and Fort Worth have always been together because they work as one even though there is a small rivalry between the two. They both share the same airport. But to be fair. Dallas and Fort Worth for a while was not considered one metro area for a while themselves.



Doesn't mean it should be one metro. As the poster above said earlier on this page. Distance is not the main reason why a metro is considered one. Commuter levels are and those stats do not justify these two city metro areas merging anytime soon. Maybe in 25 years but I hope not. Don't want to see 60 miles of endless suburban sprawl.
MSA crietria and CSA criteria are not the same. The commuting factor does not apply, simply because, the separate MSA designation applies. San Antonio and Austin will never be one MSA, but a CSA one day.

Being right next to Dallas plays no part in that?
