I thought you lived in Scotsdale?



I do...but many consider that a suburb of Phoenix Metro


You ever look at a map of Phoenix Metro? Everything is right next to each other.

I'm not sure where he is getting his numbers. DFW Metropolitan Statistical Area is 4th with approximately 6.95 million people, followed by Houston at 6.49, Philadelphia at 6.05, and then DC at 6.03.

Metropolitan area of DC ranks 4th at 9,331,587 people. City populations don't mean much considering most people living in the burbs commute to that city everyday.


It really is meaningless. E.g., I can walk a matter of a few minutes and be in the City of Atlanta or in City of Decatur and yet I don't count toward the population of either.

Just curious where you're getting DC as ranked 4th? I see it as 7th on some lists, but those might be out of date.
