So you would live somewhere just because of its population totals? That isn't something you can tangibly see, feel, visit, experience or taste when you wake up every day. Especially if the 6 million people are spread out in an area the size of Connecticut.

The area is larger than that! It's larger than New Jersey, but a tad bit smaller than Massachusetts.

Haha and no, I wouldn't, I was just countering what Ladarron had to say for fun!

City Data91, I have a VERY important question for you, are you willing to answer it?

Do you like to go boating? Walking on the beach? Throwing french fries from the local McDonalds on the beach for the seagulls to feed off of?
