We should consolidate all these arguments for Boston and Houston and other cities along those lines in a battle for ranking 6 through 12 (1-5 being a fight between Bay Area, CHI, DC, LA, NYC and 6 through 12 are duked out between ATL, BOS, DET, DFW, HOU, MIA, PHI). That would make the most sense.
I think you're definitely right. Probably, though, you could drop Detroit. I'm not sure if Detroit is competitve with the other cities mentioned.
I mistakenly put Bay Area instaed of Boston in a previous post regarding population. These people who try to use CSA instead of MSA are grasping. For the Boston homer Dallas has surged way ahead of you in poulation. I'm referring to MSA vs MSA not Dallas verses the eastern seaboard. DFW is the 3rd busiest airport, just look it up. When I mentioned presidents it was in reference to the political clout of the city and state from which Kerry and Dukakis are from. That would be Boston and MA. If you can't understand that association than you are just dense.
One last post on this silly subject to the Boston homers. At just over 600K Boston would be the 3rd largest city in DFW!! Behind Dallas 1.3 mil and Ft.Worth 736,000. Boston lol!! It it will only continue to DWARF little BeanTown!! Oh and go ahead use the CSA arguement and include all of New England and DFW can claim Arkansas Oklahoma and Northern Louisanna. DFW will be at 9+million. If you don't think so check out the North Central Texas Council of Governments population estamates.

Your an idiot.
Land Area
Boston MSA= 4.5k Dallas MSA= 9.2K Boston CSA= 10.6K
Dallas CSA= North Texas
If Boston has to use CSA numbers to counter Federal census corruption and make it an apples to apples comparison than so be it.
Boston is a much better city and metro than Dallas, maybe in two hundred years or so Dallas will be on the same level as Boston, but for now its not. SunBelt cities are made to seem alot larger than they actually are by the Census bureau.

Ted Kennedy was the force behind more legislation (The American's with Disabilities act, the Civil Rights Act of '91, No Child Left Behind, Healthcare reform, etc...) than any other legistalor in US history. Take any political issue from the last 4 decades, and chances are Kennedy played a major roll.
To say Massachusetts has no political clout on the national stage is ludicrous. But job well done on that 3rd busiest airport.
no IF you care to check the data from NCTCOG Dallas will reach 9 million by 2035. They have been spot on for yearsi wikies state Dallas has the largest concetration of corporate hq in the counrty. Dallas GDP IS LARGER THAN BOSTON IF YOU CARE USE THE REAL DATA. TED KENNEDY LOL!!! AND JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE GOES TO HARVARD DOES NOT MAKE THEM A BOSTONIAN! THE MAJORITY OF THE STUDENTS ARE FROM ELSEWHERE, LIKELY MORE FROM TX THAN MA.
I am willing to bet that Dallas nor Houston reach 9 million by 2035, the hard growth still lies ahead, they will get larger but really do not see 9 million by then
I'll take that bet. All indications point there. The NCTCOG predictions are very accurate.
I cant understand how Northeastern people can't accept the FACT the DALLAS & HOUSTON are
as important as BOSTON? Dallas and Houston are juggernauts of business and commerce! Boston not so much.
