I think all the cities in the Tidewater region are rather interconnected and interdependent and don't see relationship between Norfolk and Virginia beach like say between DC and Arlington.Just by looking at stats on their city-data profiles both cities have almost same % of people living and working in the same city percentage-wise.I'm going to VA beach next week so I'll see what people there say

Thank you. I also don't feel like arguing and the fact that I disagree with you was not intended to start an argument. Just commenting on your post if that's ok. I used to live in Long Beach and know a little bit about it.

What makes a suburb a suburb?

Katy would be killer too if those areas around it would be incorporated into the city

San Francisco was originally the core of the Bay area, but now San Jose I think has a larger population. And, Oakland has its own sports team.

VA Beach is kinda like Jacksonville, FL (and I think Nashville, Charlotte and Indianapolis, but not certain). They simply incorporated the entire county that encompassed the old city as a new city. I believe it was in the 60s or 70s when these cities did this.

That's true, but imagine a world in which Fairfax County + Alexandria + Arlington + Loudoun and whatever else incorporated into one hugigantonormous city right next to Washington and with twice the population. Then you'd have the same sort of relationship as Norfolk-Va Beach (albeit on a much larger scale).
