  • @johnopal316

    The population of cities is very misleading. The Metropolitan area around those cites is more important as to how large the area is. For instance San Antonio has 1.4 million and the metro area is 2.6 million. Dallas is1.3 mil and the metro area is 7.9 million, over 3 times as large.

    • @Lemon_Man_Chan
      @Lemon_Man_Chan Před 4 měsíci +2

      While you are correct that the metro population does give a better idea of the actual number of people within the area of a city, I also do think it is important to differentiate between a city's metro population and a city's proper population for the context of this video; since a metro can technically consist of multiple major cities. For example, the "Dallas" metro, or DFW metro to be more accurate, isn't just consisting of Dallas' population but also Fort Worth's which is a large city in it's own right (about at 950,000 residents I believe) and not mention Arlington's population as well. I think the purpose of this video was just to showcase the growth of individual cities respectively and not necessarily the "two for one" city situations that do occur in some other metro areas. I would love to see a video like this but with the metro population though.

      @@duckmercy11 I just don't see the point of the video. The city limits of Juneau Alaska covers over 2,700 square miles which is bigger than some countries yet it only has 31,000 people. If city limits were relevant Juneau should be one of the most populated cities in America. But it's not. If people are interested in this video fine but it doesn't really mean much IMO. I mean if the NFL is looking for a new place to start a football team it probably wont be Juneau Alaska or a lot of the cities in this video for that matter. They will use MSA population because that is meaningful data.

      I don't think that's true. According to the video:
      1. Boston, Salem, and Marblehead in the late 1780s
      2. Philadelphia, Northern Liberties, and Southwark from the 1790s to the 1830s
      3. New York, Brooklyn, and Albany (and later Buffalo) from the 1830s to the 1860s

      @@MoneyC225 Pittsburgh only made the list around 1900, long after Philadelphia had annexed Northern Liberties and Southwark. So since the 1830s, three Pennsylvania cities have never been in the top 10 simultaneously, and before the 1830s, Pittsburgh was not a part of the three.
      I guess Pittsburgh would be included if we were talking about states that had more than 3 cities in the top 10 AT SOME POINT, but that's not how I interpreted OP's comment.
      Also, my first comment did leave out another Pennsylvania city that was simultaneously in the top 10 with two others: Spring Garden in the 1840s, yet another Philadelphia annex during the Act of Consolidation of 1854.

    Los Angeles County is 3,000 sq miles and has roughly 17 million people in it at any given time so no wonder its traffic beats out metro NYC! LA city which in size is bigger than NYC (as is Chicago) should be doing more to keep people instead of garbage policies, the right mayor comes along and booms vertical housing and cleans that town up would keep LA right there but i think the county will suffer the same fate as the city. Basically what NYC is facing now as they did in the early 90's. I wonder if NYC will keep losing residents as well. I'll keep this vid in my saved favorites so 20 years from now maybe you can post updated figures!

      By 1850, Louisville had become the tenth largest city in the nation, with more than 43,000 people. It was a major port, with a thriving boatyard industry. It had a new university, was building a Catholic cathedral, and was organizing the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. Its streets had been lighted by gas for more than a decade; businesses and wealthy homes had interior gaslights. Prestige suburbs were developing in the rural area south of Broadway. But the underground sewer system had reached a length of only one and one-half miles.
