The northeast has 4 of the top 10 metro areas or 4 of the top 7 combined areas in a 400 mile stretch. And you are comparing that to one giant metro area (LA) that sprawls into a medium size metro area (SD).
*This* should be the final statement in this thread.

No, not really. There is no prerequisite size for what is and what is not a megalopolis and what metros should count, otherwise Boston no longer counts since Hartford is apparently too small to count.

A whole lot of shape shifting and goal post moving all in a weak attempt to refute statistical facts. LOL

On the other hand, I dont mind seeing you all put out of your misery. Especially since someone went to all the trouble of creating a user name specifically for this thread...#i feel honored

And the strangest irony is I never said that BosWash isnt a megalopolis, only that LA-SD is more dense, which is true.

Its like some people act like I kidnapped their momma. lol

Those mountains in California really crowd a lot of people near the coast, it seems.

Otherwise, the state still has less population density than Ohio.

Yes, well thank goodness for mountains otherwise we'd have the unsightly low density one sees in greater Washington DC.

I call BS on both sides. There are pros and cons to both styles.

I mean is Santa Anna some panacea or greenbelt MD for that matter. Most of this is silly IMHO

What I find funny is the NE having some open space is deemed bad yet many say the access to open space in CA is part of what makes it special, or conversely density is the best, yet LA density (which is significant) is no good

I think the megalopolis should be extended to include Richmond, and pretty soon, the Norfolk Tidewater.
