True.. You could add L.A., but the city grew out so far that it defeated the purpose.

Back to the density argument.
You notice that most Northeast cities have extremely dense cores with extremely sprawled suburbs, whereas the most of the sunbelt (outside of GA, NC, etc.) meets it in the middle?

But, the refineries are beautiful

They can dig some Bayous to the trinity and turn the prairie into swamps...

Good, now with the bayous maybe we could get some trees to grow up there.

The hills we can flatten. We will use the dirt to divert the trinity

Houston has suburbs that are developing around it that are highly dense for sunbelt standards. So you are saying if these areas become more urban they all of a sudden are no longer a suburb of Houston?
commerce has nothing to do with being urban. Like i said many(not all)areas outside the five boroughs are urban in their own right and have public transit and ammenities because they're cities not suburbs. Newark,jersey city,stamford etc are the areas where most of the non-nyer metro lives. So no most of the metro does not live in the suburbs
