How odd that Brooklyn, Queens and The Bronx are all included as separate entities on that list even though NYC as a whole is also on there.

So.....really wouldn't NYC be the top here???

More likely Los Angeles, Van Nuys, and Fullerton.

doubt it. no 'NY City' made the top ten. The combined boroughs most probably would not amount to the number of the cities in the top 5.

UHaul is overpriced anyway. Its too expensive to move right now.

Charlotte beat out by St Louis, love it, and Raleigh is falling off quickly. Party is over, there.

Actually L.A. is broken down into Los Angeles, Van Nuys, Costa Mesa, Long Beach, and Fullerton (you could even throw in Victorville if you expand to CSA)....

Actually, the article states that it "considers every city in the country, regardless of size", so it is not broken down solely by UA, MSA, nor CSA.

I get that, but "Van Nuys" is not a separate city, it is part of the city of Los Angeles.

And if you are looking for trends, a more helpful list would be by MSA or something like that. Of course, U-Haul measures it their own way I guess.
