Do you live in a major city?

Am I missing something? In all my years of DL I've never been able to "click to vote". Anyway, Houston here.

You do realise that there are many non-Americans here right?

r2, OP did include Texas so yes, the non-Americans who matter are represented.

Manhattan is a burrough, you dumb fuck.

LOL... how telling... no major cities anywhere else in the world.

oh, and here comes Yankee Doodle at R3. Even on DL the inner Trump in the lot of you is just a how-dare-you? away.

R2 if you insist!

Fuck off data miner.

[quote]Manhattan is a burrough, you dumb fuck.

There is no pleasing some of you.

[quote]You do realise that there are many non-Americans here right?

There are only 10 slots. The majority of posters are American.

^ Phoenix is a major city to you?

Ok.

Why should the OP have written " New York" instead of "Manhattan"? Anyone with any intelligence knows that Manhattan IS New York.

Manhattan is the PHOENIX of New York!

[quote]Phoenix is a major city to you?

It's top 10 in population.

I don't see Boston.

Well, that makes it a big city, but really a little critical thought and you'd struggle to classify Phoenix as a major city while excluding the rest of the world. However, it's evident where your world stops and starts so let's consider the case closed.

[quote]Why should the OP have written " New York" instead of "Manhattan"? Anyone with any intelligence knows that Manhattan IS New York

Anyone with an IQ above that of a pencil eraser realizes that you're an imbecile, R11.

This is a terrible poll.

Just sayin'.

OP, you should have included Albuquerque on principle.

Phoenix is not a major city.

Then what about Butte?

I put Boulder on the map!

The start a thread with a poll for other world cities. Damn you guys are complicated.

Cleveland’s river went on fire 🔥 That’s pretty Major

Yes.

r6 = humorless German and/or autist.

r12, don't even know what that means but I've been laughing for 2 minutes over that comment. So left field, so DL!!

Why is Phoenix on this list? Did you post this you fucking whore? You are such trash!

What I want to know is what did Phoenix do to you bitches?

Chicago, Phoenix, Houston, and Dallas are not major cities (based on location alone)

Meghan McCain!

↑ Now we have a retarded Tourette's Troll posting random exclamatory inanities? Oy!

OP could have put Atlanta, Miami or Boston but he went with PHOENIX.

San Francisco proper or the San Francisco Bay Area?

When one talks about a city one should talk about the metropolitan area, not just the city proper. Phoenix is #10, so technically I guess it could be considered a major city.

The 10 largest metro areas are

1 New York City-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA MSA 19,124,359

2 Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA MSA 13,109,903

3 Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN-WI MSA 9,406,638

4 Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX MSA 7,694,138

5 Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land, TX MSA 7,154,478

6 Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV MSA 6,324,629

7 Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL MSA 6,173,008

8 Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD MSA 6,107,906

9 Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Alpharetta, GA MSA 6,087,762

10 Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler, AZ MSA 5,059,909

How is Chicago not a major city r29?

Depends on the source R34.

The 10 Biggest U.S. Metropolitan Areas from Largest to Smallest, 2018 Census

1. New York-Newark, NY-NJ-CT-PA 23,522,861

2. Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA 18,764,814

3. Chicago-Naperville, IL-IN-WI 9,865,674

4. Washington-Baltimore-Arlington, DC-MD-VA-WV-PA 9,800,391

5. San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland, CA 8,841,475

6. Boston-Worcester-Providence, MA-RI-NH-CT 8,285,407

7. Dallas-Fort Worth, TX-OK 7,994,963

8. Philadelphia-Reading-Camden, PA-NJ-DE-MD 7,204,035

9. Houston-The Woodlands, TX 7,195,656

10. Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Port St. Lucie, FL 6,881,420

Those figures include areas that most metro surveys don't consider close enough to the core city to be in the metros.

Yeah Chicago is unquestionably a major city r29.

Detroit!

Yes! Seattle.

Baltimore? Seattle? The Twin Cities? Kansas City? St. Louis? New Orleans? Pittsburgh? Milwaukee? Memphis? Denver? Portland? Miami?

These major cities are tearing us apart!

R35 It is. I was just being snotty because it's in the middle of the country.

Sorry. I'm strongly biased toward the Northeast and California.

The largest city by population using the city proper definition, which is the area under the administrative boundaries of a local government, is Chongqing, China.

The largest city by population using the metropolitan area definition, which is a loose term referring to urban area and its primary commuter areas, is Tokyo, Japan.

The largest city by population using the urban area definition, which is a loose term referring to a contiguous area with a certain population density, is also Tokyo, Japan.

The largest city by population using the dumb MAGAT definition, which is a loose term referring to a contiguous area of retarded hicks who worship the Orange Jizzpot, is Phoenix, Arizona, USA.

I have a feeling that on a per capita basis OP penned the most unsuccessful thread of the day.

Use MSA, not CSA, which is overly expansive. R34 should have been the poll.

I live in London. I wish I lived in a major city like Phoenix so I could take part in this fun poll!

I'm baffled by what OP was trying to prove with this poll, since there was no option for "I do not live in any of the cities listed above," which at least would have told us how many DLers lived in those cities versus elsewhere.

Only two of the world's top ten largest cities are located in the Western Hemisphere: São Paulo (4th) and Mexico City (5th).

NYC ranks 11th. The next largest American city, Los Angeles, ranks 23rd.

^ London is ranked 37th.

Phoenix doesn't break the top 80.

New Orleans wasn't a major city before they lost over half their population due to the hurricane. The population is back up to 75% of what it was before the storm.

[quote] Only two of the world's top ten largest cities are located in the Western Hemisphere: São Paulo (4th) and Mexico City (5th).

So, you're saying OP should do this poll again but with the 10 choices instead being Tokyo, Delhi, Shanghai, Sao Paolo, Mexico City, Cairo, Mumbai, Beijing, Dhaka, and Osaka?

Sounds super-fun! I've always wanted to hear from all our gay sisters in Dhaka and Osaka.

I hate every single one of you.

[quote]I hate every single one of you.

Our work is done.

[quote] Manhattan is a burrough

Oh, my!

This all reminds me of a conversation I heard on the last night of my vacation to Vienna, Austira, my favorite city, in 2019. There I was, enjoying a coffee and desert at an outdoor cafe, and I heard the following conversation:

"Well, there are the large U.S. cities, and then there are your major metropolitan centers, like Duluth."

There we all were, sitting outside at a beautiful cafe in the inner city of Vienna with a backlighted view of the Albertina museum, and these rubes are talking about Duluth! Two years later, that story still makes me laugh.

I'm "Oh, dear"-ing myself for the typo- it's obviously "dessert!" Hee...

I'll have you know Duluth is considered the Vienna of Northeast Minnesota.

[quote]I'm baffled by what OP was trying to prove with this poll

Plainly her trailer landed in St. Louis after the twister hit Wichita.

Now that we've thoroughly destroyed the OP's self esteem, I'm a little shocked that LA and NYC (oops: Manhattan) are tied.

In past threads like these, NYC is usually far and away in first.

Does this mean that LA has finally supplanted NYC/Manhattan as THE American city?

I'd like to know what Phoenix thinks of this new development. But not London. London has no right to respond.

[quote]I'm a little shocked that LA and NYC (oops: Manhattan) are tied.

Because the trash from the Bronx, Queens and Staten Island can't post.

[quote]There I was, enjoying a coffee and desert

I, too, enjoy an occasional Sahara with my morning Java.

We built this city.

Phoenix (city alone) has 1.7 million living there, about 5 million in its metro area. They have a professional baseball team, a pro football team, a pro basketball team and a pro hockey team. It's one of the few cities that have all four professional sports franchises. Big shot team owners agree Phoenix is a major city. Why can't we?

Well, I live in Seattle which is the home base for Amazon, Microsoft, Starbucks, Costco, T-Mobile and Nordstroms so I think we're a lot more major than half the cities on your awful list.

I mean, what is Phoenix known for other than heat, old people, and backward politics?

R64, Phoenix clearly owes these cunts money.

STOP.TRYING.TO.MAKE.PHOENIX.HAPPEN

Phoenix lacks a reputable opera, ballet and symphony. No regional theater of renown either. It's big but parochial.

And filled with old people!

It's the kind of town where women wear the caftans!

[quote] Big shot team owners agree Phoenix is a major city. Why can't we?

Because you're a fucking idiot.

[quote] Phoenix lacks a reputable opera, ballet and symphony.

Phoenix possesses all three organization, seething with angry Juilliard grads bitter after having moved to a sun-blasted hellhole with no notoriety and no audience. The working point being ‘reputable’

Seattle - its the biggest city in he Northwest. That has to count for something.

"Cleveland’s river went on fire 🔥 That’s pretty Major"

In 1969, Gramps. Time to take out your teeth and swallow some Geritol before bed.

"Why should the OP have written " New York" instead of "Manhattan"? Anyone with any intelligence knows that Manhattan IS New York"

"Anyone with an IQ above that of a pencil eraser realizes that you're an imbecile, [R11]."

You must be new to DL.

anyone who wears earrings wears caftans!

Boston, bitch

Phoenix is a disgusting uninhabitable god-forsaken sweat box from hell. No one is actually supposed to live there. It's meant as a outpost where you ride in on your horse to the general store to pick up your supplies and move the fuck on. Same with Tucson.

"You must be new to DL."

Stand back, noob. Voici:

Phoenix is hot & pushy & not even phonetic!

^ worse than being a virgin who doesn’t drive

Phoenix drives, drives DRUNK

[quote] When one talks about a city one should talk about the metropolitan area, not just the city proper.

No bitch. When one talks about a city, one should talk about the actual city. The metropolitan area is a marketing designation and no one cares about it besides the demographers at Procter & Gamble.

I've found something to like about every "major" US city I've visited...except Phoenix. Didn't like it at all. I went there for work, and I hope I never have to go there again.

Of the cities I've visited for work, Boston is the one I'd most like to return to for a vacation. I really enjoyed it.

phoenix is a very very large strip mall

Phoenix and Las Vegas are pretty much the same. One big sandbox full of strip malls.

phoenix is huge

Point me in the direction of Albuquerque.

OP, your disastrous thread has turned into a goddamn TRIUMPH! Take a boomerangy kind of pride in your accidental accomplishment!

r90 = Mr White

[quote] Manhattan is a burrough, you dumb fuck.

Groundhogs live in burrows, Manhattan is a borough.

Manhattan is the groundhog of PHOENIX

One day when I grow up, I hope I can live in the incomparable Phoenix, Arizona! I heard if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere…

That thought almost sounds musical, R95.

And certainly reflects the major city of Phoenix as I know it!

A girl in home room told me that her cousins said Phoenix likes Miracle Whip more than Hellman’s OR Duke’s and she eats boogers!

New York posters are furiously dissing Phoenix, since it temporarily takes the criticism off their hellhole

I live in a minor city just outside Washington DC.

The only true " Major" cities in the US:

Cities named Major in America.

Major - Virginia Where is Major - Virginia - America?

Major - Tennessee Where is Major - Tennessee - America?

Major - Kentucky Where is Major - Kentucky - America?

Major - Georgia Where is Major - Georgia - America?

r100 Get some rest.

From Major to

Minor

I thought Chicago was DL's favorite city to trash. I guess that changed and it's now Phoenix.

Where is the whole fucking south in your poll?

[quote]No bitch. When one talks about a city, one should talk about the actual city. The metropolitan area is a marketing designation and no one cares about it besides the demographers at Procter & Gamble.

Nonsense.

"lanta.....

"From Major to Minor"

Cities named Minor in America:

Minor, Virginia

Minor, Kentucky

Minor, Alabama

Savannah would be majah for ya.

[quote]Groundhogs live in burrows, Manhattan is a borough.

burrough = borough, not burrow, you dumb fuck

[quote] Well, I live in Seattle which is the home base for...Nordstroms.

It's called Nordstrom (no s), or Nordy's.

People who say "Nordies" are also the same idiots who say "Mickey D's" for McDonalds.

And, when you tell them you're going to McDonalds for lunch they clap their hands in glee and say "Cool beanz!!!"

Not all major cities are in the US.

Not all cities have a major

^ your circuits dead, is something wrong?

Houston, we have a problem

London calling

think of London, a small city. . .

[quote] People who say "Nordies" are also the same idiots who say "Mickey D's" for McDonalds.

Oh, really? Then why does Nordstrom call my membership with them "The Nordy Club", R111?

"...view your June Nordy Club statement now" (from the subject line of an email from the sender "THE NORDY CLUB")

And I've never said "Mickey D's".
