re: #57 Yeah Sure WhatEVs

Chicagoland has about 8 million people.

If you totaled up the top 10 Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the USA, it comes to 87,282,139. Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale scoots in at number 10. I’ve also lived in Houston (MSA #5), San Francisco (#13), Austin (MSA #26), and Salt Lake City (MSA #46).

The MSA list goes down to #387, Eagle Pass, population 57,762. Probably very few of us live outside a MSA.
