I was thinking about different metro area's and how they are divided. San Francisco & Oakland, Minneapolis & St. Paul, Dallas & Fort Worth, and NewYork & Newark form one metro area. What major cities are next to each other but are technically different metro MSA's? Which ones are close to becoming one MSA?
Austin & San Antonio which is about 45 min. to 1 hour away.
Northeast Philly is about 48 miles away from Stten island (part of Philly proper and NYC proper) and you can get there about 45 min on a good day via the New jersey turnpike.
Cleveland & Akron - 45 minutes apart "for now", but the rapid suburbinzation that is occuring will eventually link these two metros together to form an even more enormous metro area.
Orlando and Daytona Beach.
The cities are probably more than an hour apart, but the metro areas border each other.
More like Tampa and Orlando. Both major metros of over 2 million and you can get from one metro to the other in about 20 mins. The cities downtowns themselves are about an hour apart though.
Omaha and Lincoln are only 17 (23 miles) minutes from edge of one city core to the edge of the other.
