So you are saying the developed space that is UA is not connected or that the imiginary NON real world line somehow makes the wall.
Furthermore, it was you who introduced the term 'real world' into the conversation insinuating that MSAs and CSAs are less relevant to reality than built up area, and that is preposterous-to say the least.
If that were true, then every major measure of wealth and population would focus on urbanized area but its almost always a metro-based stat that is listed because that's in fact, the real world as far as delineating the true size and scope of a city or region.

You fail to see the point again. Yes things have to be placed into neat little units. It doesnt mean they appropriately account for the actual place
The original responses were that the UAs in the real world are not connected, which in the real world could not be more untrue

Another pretentious post consisting of nothing but arguing about wealth. I can sense a vexed attitude because SF/SJ does not rank high.
The study ranks the top ten metro areas in the United States by population of ultra high net worth (UHNW) individuals, or anyone worth at least US $30 million when accounting for shares in public and private companies, residential and investment properties, art collections, planes, cash and other investible assets.
An update to this thread not for comparative purposes but just as an FYI since its related and from the exact same source. They also released a ranking of European cities and here are the Top 10 US cities and Top 10 European cities together.
Number of Individuals worth $30 million+
New York 7,270
London 5,955
Los Angeles 4,350
San Francisco 4,230
Paris 2,820
Chicago 2,550
Washington DC 2,300
Houston 2,250
Dallas 1,855
Zurich 1,775
Munich 1,450
Geneva 1,355
Dusseldorf 1,335
Hamburg 1,310
Frankfurt 1,100
Rome 1,140
Madrid 1,060
Atlanta 960
Boston 890
Seattle 885
All the posters here that are talking about how "developed" the area between philly and NYC is, will be the same ones talking about how cities in the south and southwest "sprawl endlessly". Also, it seems to me that philly wants to be absorbed in the NYC metro.

Where is Moscow? The city where by far the most billionaires in the world live.
