Just say what you mean and what you want and cut out all BS.

I am NYC born and raised.

Honey, I am a Southerner and I hate it when men call me that, too.

That means that only one metro is considered more populated than NYC. Once again, with the exception of Tokyo land. If you added Tokyo with their 35 million. And who knows what they are counting to get that number, then NY would be third. I personally think that they are counting half of Japan. Definately counting more than what "the consensus" considers "metro areas. Anyway NY excluding Tokyo sits at the number two most populated metro in the world.

does it not seem a bit crazy that nyc counts all those places a part of the metro of the city? almost 3 whole states?
i have never been, but does all that feel like part of nyc metro?
or are they just adding in as many consensus as they can?
For example in London, they only have places that are close and really do feel like part of London to the metro area.. I guess if they want, they could add half of Essex and Hertfordshire and double up numbers

The metro area they refer to is small parts of Conn and New Jersey. Not the ENTIRE states themselves. And a lot of those people commute into NYC (Mannhattan) everyday for work or shopping.
