San Antonio- 2.5M metro (documented)
quote:
I know these aren’t really huge cities
San Antonio is the 7th most populated city in the country. I'd say it's a huge city.

I'll have to respectfully disagree that ABQ is "nice."

Are you suggesting Santa Fe is the only state capital without commercial air service? I don't think this is correct, as American offers flights from DFW to SAF. Pretty sure that Dover (and the state of DE) doesn't have a commercial airport though.

Where do I start:
Boston ,Chicago, NYC, DC, .. I could go on
I can see the dislike for NYC, Chicago and even DC, but Boston is really a nice place especially from mid April to early November.....and on summer Saturday afternoons when the Red Sox are playing really cool and laid back especially the neighborhoods as you get nearer Fenway.

That moron didn't go to Yale. There are other colleges and universities in New Haven.

I would have to say a few of the California cities. Fresno, Sacramento and San Jose. They are in the Top 35 most populated cities yet you hardly here anything from any of them. I was surprised to see that Mesa, AZ is bigger than Atlanta and Colorado Springs, CO is almost the same population as Atlanta. I think what makes Atlanta so big is the actual metro area. The city of Atlanta has 464,000 people but there are over 5 million people living in the Metro Atlanta area.

Spokane is 5 hours from me, so I hear of it often and actually travel there every so often.
Outside the US, Vancouver BC to me is relatively not talked about for its size.
China has little towns on the map that have millions of people when you roll in.

I know taxes in KY are pretty bad, but is Louisville that much worse?
Isn’t there a city income tax there or something like that?
Louisville only gets about $0.33 for every $1 it pays in state taxes (at least back in the day).

Houston actually has a pretty good way to catch Chicago, and that's assuming the current growth rate of Houston sustains itself and the current shrink rate of Chicago sustains itself.
I'd be surprised if Houston metro surpassed Chicago metro by 2030.
Houston is on pace to pass Chicago in 12 years. Chicago's city proper growth is non existant. Lots of flight to the burbs.
Chicago was slayed from their #2 position by Los Angeles in 1990. Now it's Houston's turn.

Ferriday and Jonesville, LA both have huge populations. They are just crammed in the ghetto like people from India in slums. There is easily 100,000 people in each housing projects. A one bedroom house in the projects holds about 50 people.

I was speaking more to metro area, which is a truer measure of a city's influence and impact.
City size doesn't really mean shite because of the way boundaries are placed.

Even when using metro area Dallas and Houston are still coming for dat booty. Chicago's metro area growth is very slow while Dallas and Houston gained nearly 800k on Chicago.

And they still have a good thirty or forty years or more to catch Chicago.
And they probably aren't going to be sustaining those growth levels forever.

We'll see. A lot can change in forty years.
And Houston, in particular, is heavily exposed to the cyclic nature of the energy market.

correct, Tigercross.
State capitals without commercial air service:
Dover, DE
Montpelier, VT
Concord, NH
Carson City, NV
Topeka, KS
Frankfort, KY
Salem, OR
Olympia, WA
Santa Fe does have commercial air service.
