Definitely, but the term metroplex seems unique to DFW.

SF, etc is just the bay area

Baltimore/DC is DMV

Minny/st Paul is twin cities.

The word Metroplex really has nothing to do w/the population makeup of a city and it's surrounding burbs.

It's simply a marketing term that some DFW based advertisers came up with to promote North Texas in the 70s.

My life rule #17

Never live in a city that has a "metroplex", "metroplex envy", or more cement than soul.

New Orleanians still convincing themselves this is a real thing that really matters.

We bought acreage in 2021 in Montgomery County, and as soon as my daughter graduates we will be moving out of Katy. Also, Katy is a suburb of Houston that has as many residents as New Orleans.

Plenty of great and beautiful cities across the US. Not sure why you would make such and asinine assumption.

The city with a “soul” and “Applebees” burn are straight out of 2008 OT when NOLA was supposedly a top 5 city in America.
