And this is nitpicking at Houston but people talk about places like Galveston and the port of Houston, these places are further away from Downtown Houston than are places like Allentown, Reading, AC, Lancaster, Trenton/Plainsboro/Princeton/Hightstown etc are from CityHall in Philly. The MSAs that are closer than these include more than 2 million people and big GDP and GMP and intertwine everyday.
Incorrect. Houston to Galveston are closer to each other than Philadelphia is to Allentown, Reading, Atlantic City, and Lancaster. Only those cities you listed in Mercer County, NJ are closer to Philadelphia than Galveston is to Houston.
Matter, it is the point, the economic activities added are 25 miles away (well the majority of port activity is) and is the point where other metros have majors dollars and populataion excluded at that distance.
Lol, who cares how far from downtown it is. Still Houston

Atlantic County is 16 miles from city hall (AC is 43 to be exact), Reading and Allentown are both about 40. Agree Lancaster is too far
I think Galveston is about the same as both Allentown and Reading, just far less developed with less people in between, Allentown MSA has almost a million people alone and covers a very small footprint. There are about 2 million people on the stretch between Philly and Allentown/Reading (which abut to the North west) that excludes the city population within Phillys borders

Who cares? What difference does it matter? Philly is one America's most historical cities and was developed way before Houston's time. Houston obviously boomed in the 1950's and has continued to grow in size and influence. Houston will surely pass Philly.
Boston was an important part of Americana in 1970. DFW has more fortune 500 companies than Houston, Higher GDP than Boston. Boston will only get smaller and even less influential. DC just happens to be our seat of government. It has never had to make any effort to prosper like the other cities. When companies look to relocate or someone has a new product concept to launch they don't even think of Boston. Dallas is known worldwide for it's culture of can do spirit and anything's possible. Boston is old money and the Kennedy's.

Largest concentration of corporate headquarters in the U.S. And you think your city is more important. LOl LOl The country has rejected MA stlye taxes and socialism. Boston and Taxachusetts have no political power! Let's see Kerry Nope!! Dukakis Nope!! Americans have chosen 3 Texans for president since MA. Your blind!
