Regardless of how "small" our metro may be we are still america's 33rd largest city.
This is so true!!! City limits usually begin to "top out" on population growth before the suburbs and metro populations begin to grow. This happens to all US cities and it will happen to ABQ too (if strict restraints on sprawl aren't enforced).
O.K. big boy "Albuquerque" Tulsa and OKC has Elite Academy Universities.....Tulsa University for Tulsa and OKC has Oklahoma University in Norman Oklahoma....Albuquerque Universities Aren't Highly Rated.
I dont think you understood what I was trying to say Mr.Okie fanatic- let me break it down for ya-- Im saying that people arnt hating on OK City,Tulsa,Little Rock and Ft.Worth cause of the lack of education and blah blah blah cause the same could be said for every Southern state and the Southwestern states.So I think people have other reasons of hating on a place. I just dont know what it is cause I dont hate.

I thought that you were just the typical person from Albuquerque.... that never even been to Tulsa...bagging ..on Tulsa..my "BAD"..but people from Tulsa And OKC aren't dummies and Tulsa University is a very "elite' " Academic" university.
P.S. By the way I LOVE ALBUQUERQUE N.M Is A Great City...I stop out in Albuquerque every time that I drive to Tulsa..Where my FAMILY is...and spend a DAY or TWO there..I Have Been by Myself in CALI For The Last 30 Some odd Years......And Haven't Been To Albuquerque And TULSA Since 2003...

I don't know what it is either. It's just something about the South-Central United States that is overlooked.
BTW, I've been to ABQ many times and really enjoy the area. Santa Fe is also a great town.
AZ University Give's Tucson A Advantage Over Albuquerque

I know what you are trying to say , but just can't quite put your finger on...It...Known as (Fly Over Land)...yeah the area that we are talking about is known as "fly over land"...and that's mean's that it's not a "Destination City" that people from the east or west coast or Chicago San Francisco or any other World Class City or highly rated U.S. city would even consider stopping off in or visiting.........with the Exception Of Me..
I think New York City is the most underrated because most people would not give credit to New York for what it is yet they watch New York based TV programming or read New York based newspapers or magazines on a daily basis.
NYC is not the most underrated large city and to say otherwise shows bias.
Because you say so? Of course it is. Given New York's cultural contribution it is hard to believe that it gets the rap of being uncultured and rough place like it was still 1974. New York mayor's office spends on arts more than National Endowment for the Arts in the entire US. New York is underrated and any attempts at correcting this situation are dismissed as elitism and snobbery.

It's elitism and snobbery as well as arrogance if people especially New Yorkers actually believe they are the most underrated city in the nation. You can't be called underrated if people actually believe you are the capital of the World and you have the United Nations headquarters and you are still essentially the cultural and financial capital of the world. You can't be underrated. If any city in America is underrated, it's Philadelphia simply because it is a powerhouse in itself but is shadowed by New York to it's north and Washington DC to it's south. Most people know that NY's crime is not nearly as bad as it use to be. In fact, more people believe Chicago and LA's crime is worse than New Yorks and it is.
