Just one more piece of perspective, not to mention the Metro connected to the north of 20 million and the one to the South with an MSA of 3 or so and CSA of nearly 9 million
You're right, but in that same essence there isn't a region that can touch the Northeast as far as continuous development goes.
The Bay Area is the closest it comes with continuous development from San Francisco to San Jose, then again north to East Bay where Oakland is. But between Los Angeles & Bay Area, it is not like saying between New York City & Washington DC.
And you're also right in the fact that Houston is more of a standalone type of layout, closest large population cluster (2 million +) is probably San Antonio or Austin, at 3 hours for each.
Yeah your boundaries for MSA to another MSA are more developed in which if you cross one to the other, literally no difference from vibe, aesthetics, & development.
Wow and i was reading how bucks county is becoming a bedroom community for NYC more that a Philly suburb....because of lower taxes of Pa but being close enough to trenton for commuting to NYC
You've really outdone yourself on this one.
Bucks County not a suburb of Philadephia? Really.
Your blinders apparently have no limit in regards to matters concerning Philadelphia- Unquestionably the premiere city/region in Pa .

Lol, I went through and explained that very aspect just a bit earlier in this thread.
But no I do not agree with Philadelphia being over, it's just a population, economic output and the industries coming out of Philadelphia are quite influential to say the least.
I believe Pharmaceutical bases are widely influential coming from Philadelphia to national stage.
