Surely you noticed that all of NJ is in Philly's UA (Hello Princeton!) and since we also get Maryland why not add John's Hopkins to the list of Philly schools, lol.

Half the world's heart surgeons train in Philly. Bostonians are smart enough to recognize that Philly is the #2 city in higher education (Boston gets #1 because MIT and Harvard are such a dynamic duo), Bostonians are experts on the topic. Philly and Boston have just about equal student bodies, just over 500,000 college and grad students. As it happens, New York City also has a student population just over 500,000. The three cities are very evenly matched, academically. Honestly Philly and Boston are more recognized as heavy-hitters in higher education, partly because universities make up a relatively smaller part of NYC's total population and economy. Nothing you say will change this reality.
philadelphia is approximately 2 hours and 34 minutes from university place, princeton university by train, per hopstop, per transit schedules, per your own posters on city-data.com/forum/philadelphia.

repeating the contrary over and over again will not result in a miracle landshift that will carry princeton a bit closer to philadelphia.

2 hours and 34 minutes. 2 hours and 34 minutes. 2 hours and 34 minutes. i will plaster the transit schedule all over this forum if you carry on with this. cope with this loss and move it along. next, please!

Ummm Philly is a 45 minute to hour drive from Princeton. I should know my Uncle is a teacher there. For someone who lives all the way on the other side of the country, you sure claim yo know alot about the northeast area. Although judging from your posts you clearly now absolutely NOTHING.

Is this whole thread going to turn into a discussion on how close Princeton is to Manhattan or Philadelphia? New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago trump Philadelphia in this category! Moving on.

I'm showing the Top 8 U.S. metros (MSA's) as:

1) NYC
2) LA
3) Chicago
4) Dallas
5) Philadelphia
6) Houston
7) Wash DC
8) Miami

(and, technically, the Bay Area would be #5 if you included San Jose in there with SF & OAK, which you really should, IMO)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_United_States_Metropolitan_Statistical_Ar eas

And to the OP's question:



Chicago (at #9 overall) is the only big city in the discussion to rank in the Top 10 of this list of Greenest U.S. Cities:

America's 50 Greenest Cities | Popular Science

Here is another one that has Chicago at #10 overall...again, the only city of the 5 in the poll to crack the Top 10 Greenest:

The Greenest Cities in America


(btw - SF is #2 on both of these lists, but not included in this discussion)
Miami doesn't have a CSA. Miami's CSA is it's MSA. So when you have cities that combined there statistical areas, like DC and B'more, and LA/Riverside/SB, NYC Tri-State, Miami just has it's regular MSA. Miami could add the treasure coast(Port St. Lucie/Fort Pierce/Stuart) to it's MSA and make it larger.

I'd love to move on, once blatant falsehoods stop being presented as fact. The ignorance on display here is dispiriting. Philly is in the list, expect people who know something about Philly to defend it. Hopefully... moving on to what's next.
