Exactly. I'd say that major cities don't need to be shrunk or otherwise manipulated, but if you want to compare them to cities that aren't major, then you'd have to increase the areas of the smaller cities to 200 square miles and see what that looks like.

Here we go with the nonsense. No, we're not shrinking and expanding borders on this thread. For the love of God, stop

Obviously, Boston DC SF are major cities and Fresno/Mesa isnt. There's a lot of different factors at play but let's not be obtuse.

Is Long Beach a major city? No- its a mid-size city about it is large enough to make not of its density. To most of us over here its just dense suburban LA with a powerhouse of an additional port.

They aren't obviously major cities. They are secondary cities. Major cities have over 1 million people minimum. You're only as good as the company you keep.
