The reason metropolitan area is why I prefer to look at this, is that Metro area describes the number of people who regularly (at least once a month or so) go into the city for work or entertainment. Like Bel Air MD isn’t Baltimore and Fairfax VA isn’t DC but those people grew up going to those cities with their families for big events and that’s where they will go when they wanna plan a “night out”. People actually do commute the hour+ in traffic from those places to work in DC or Baltimore as well so they spend a lot of time there. In some cases yeah you can live in a totally different state, north Attleboro MA is on the Rhode Island border and nobody there would say “I live in Boston” but it’s still the Boston metro area because people there can just hop on a cheap train and go experience it any time they want. If you’re too far for “going into the city” to be accessible or worthwhile then you’re not in the metro area - Jax may be all of Duval county, but the “metro area” is arguably not even THAT big lol.

 

i'd do it in a heartbeat, chad

 

Me or him lol

 

I don't totally agree with that thinking, at least in my experience - people from Guthrie probably go to Edmond, El Reno to Yukon, I knew plenty of people in Stroud that preferred going to Tulsa vs OKC

but it doesn't matter

 

Mass transit influences this a LOT. You gotta go pretty far into Long Island / all the way into south Jersey to not be in the NYC metropolitan area. Even @Sean Murphy ’s hick ass is technically NYC metro area cause he can get drunk on the LIRR and be in Manhattan in a little over 60 minutes

none of those people say “I’m going to NYC” they say “I’m going into the city”. Says a lot.

 

what's mass transit, nearly every oklahoman asks

 

Floridians too lol. And Texans.

Florida and Texas actually do have huge cities that people just…. are used to driving an hour+ in traffic every fucking where

 

Lmao I just got a 15% pity discount at my coffee shop cause of my jags hat. I don't ever wanna hear shit about our placement in the sadness ranking

 

Texas traffic is overblown save for a couple of spots at 5pm

 

To be fair DC HAS transit and mfs still be driving an hour+ in traffic everyfuckingwhere. People in northern Virginia… look man you just gotta really love your car and have some music you dig or SOM’N cause you’re gonna spend a lot of damn time confined up in there

 

I'll say after spending time in Atlanta that Dallas surprisingly has better mass transit than Atlanta

That's not to say it's GOOD. It's not. And my side of town has god awful mass transit but yeah

 

No it is not. Texas traffic is the WOAT.

 

But Texas is extremely spread out at the same time. Dallas / Houston beltways could swallow the entire metro area of a lot of other cities haha

 

DOES IT!? Man i didn't even know it had a rail system haha

 

why don't we defer to the texas residents here

 

I am lol

 

Yeah the rail system it has is really good for what it is, goes as west as Irving/DFW airport and as east as I think Rowlett? Covers Plano, Richardson, Addison, different areas of Dallas, Carrollton really well

THE PROBLEM IS it doesn't reach Arlington because Jerry wants everyone to pay for parking

We desperately need a rail connecting Dallas and Fort Worth with a stop in Arlington

 

?????????????

 

Unless you mean the traffic thing cause no fuck off they're just used to it.

*trying to merge at 85mph on a double decker highway* YEAH THIS IS GREAT

 

cmon lol

 

It absolutely is not. We have the worst road rage. Not the worst traffic. Hardly ever do I actually stay at a standstill.

 

Skill issue

 

david - texas traffic complaints are overblown
elf - no it isn't it's the worst of all time

 

But yeah I'm talking strictly Dallas. I don't have a lot of familiarity with Houston's options. Austin has NOTHING for options and is becoming what Dallas used to be (all toll roads). And I'm not extremely familiar with San Antonio options either
