      It’s not that they didn’t grow its just that the southern big cities like Miami Atlanta Dallas and Houston (and LA of course) have exploded because of air conditioning and other things but yes it is the rust belt.
      But the Midwest will have a resurgence soon.
      The Midwest has a lot of good institutions universities and unlimited water. As high end manufacturing moves back to US from China as we decouple we need to move these manufacturing jobs that are crucial to our country back to ALL our big cites.

      I don’t understand why they don’t group those SCAL/Greater LA cities together. They are only a 1 hour distance from each other so it makes no sense separating them IMO. If you Google LA metropolitan population the top result says 18.7 million and I’d be willing to bet they all identify themselves as living in LA.

      Exactly if the entire area is accounted for it’s the greatest in the country (size wise). I’ve driven through Tucson, Phoenix, Bay Area, San Diego Area, Portland Or, Seattle and a couple of metro areas in Mexico. None of them compare to the LA area. To cross that damn area you need make at least 2hrs without traffic at 2am.

    Washington, Philadelphia, and Boston should be lumped into New York metro since they are one continuous urban area with New York as the obvious center. While each one of these cities in the NE Corridor have many unique qualities, there is a definite integration to the NE Corridor, especially economically, movement of people, and culturally, that unite it more than any other region of the US. Also, one of the only places in the US where high speed rail could actually turn a profit if anyone could get it going.

      What you are referring to is not a metro area, rather it is a megalopolis, a large area covering multiple cities of similar characteristics. A metro area constitutes its urban center, or city proper, with its surrounding territories, while a megalopolis constitutes multiple cities and spans a considerably large area that may include a large portion of rural land.

    All metropolitan area are defined by a single city. Dallas & Fort Worth are two separate cities. The US Census Bureau does not have the constitutional authority to combine metropolitan areas. Why not have San Jose, Oakland and San Francisco count as a signal metropolitan area? Why not have Why not have Houston metropolitan areas and its immediate 22 counties . Constitutionally the only city that is the largest in the state of Texas is Houston. Why are Dallas and Fort Worth Combined. Why not combine Austin and Houston and San Antonio and make them the largest in Texas. Dallas has its own metropolitan area and Fort Worth has its own, look it up. Dallas has 11 counties and Fort Worth has 11 counties. Houston only has 9 counties. Houston's metropolitan area extends all the way East to Beaumont, North to Huntsville, East to College Town and South to Victoria but conveniently only 9 counties are counted for Houston. Dallas Fort Worth is disqualified not matter what you say. Everyone in the state of Texas and in the Country knows that Dallas is not growing. It went from 2nd largest to 3rd and soon will be passed up by Austin and eventually Fort Worth. The Census Bureau

      Cities have to be economically linked to be one metro area. For Example: The vast majority of residents in Tarrant County (Fort Worth) commute into Dallas County for work. Secondly, everything is shared between Dallas and Ft Worth. They share the same media market, airport, etc.
      Do you know why other Texas cities are outgrowing Dallas? It is because they continue to expand their city limits. Houston’s city limits is nearly double the size of Dallas’. San Antonio continues to annex Bexar County. That’s why SA is now bigger than Dallas. Even with that said, Dallas County alone STILL has more people than the entire San Antonio metro area. Land area: Houston is 640 sq mi, San Antonio is 500 sq mi, and Dallas is 340 sq mi. Dallas IS growing and all the growth is additional density and infill.

      Philly will not go away completely as it has a healthy educational foundation, like Boston.

They also need to fully let go of their manufacturing/steel background and bring in the next generation of industries (tech/aviation/etc)
