TRY AGAIN to read....I generally agree with you...you need to concede that :Trenton, Allentown, Reading...Etc. are by your logic, part of Philadelphia.

Now what's easier...fighting over which cities to add to each metro...no...you are using Census data as I am.

If we really want a discussion; than it must

be Census Bureau parameters of MSA's...not yours, mine or any other poster. How can we compare; if we do not agree on what constitutes each city.

This is not directed at you; but you are well aware of the insolent rudeness of some posters, who ruin the debate and bring it to school yard name calling.

If they truly believe it...than let's start a seperate thread arguing how the CMSA system needs revision. You are reasonable to converse with...many posters are on my ignore list. And many of these posters just suddenly (re)appeared in the forum...PEACE

Some insults and attacks are starting to fling out, folks. Stay on topic and no attacks or I'll shut it down.

Philly cant compare to Frisco, Philly is for the most part a massive slum
There are also $600,000 townhouses in Society Hill, Philadelphia
In fact regentrification has gotten as far as Fishtown. It's not as nice as San Francisco but it isn't all bad either

I haven't a clue what you are talking about. I base my opinion on having been born and raised in Philadelphia and having lived in San Francisco for over ten years.

I feel like alot of people on here talk out of their ass. Philly is not as beautiful as SF. I can admit that, but it is nothing to laugh about either.

Best Philly Cheesteak in Florida is Laspada's next to the VA Clinic in Dunedin Florida. Used to be LaSpada's on Baltimore Pike in Philly. It's not close to you but if you get down near Clearwater

Pretty Good Cheesteak on Divisadero in San Francisco

You'll have to forgive me; I have gotten so many problems with the MSA definitions that I read your post too quickly...my bad...I thought you were making the case that the Census Bureau MSA definition of San Francisco is inaccurate.

I have gotten paranoid with it; because everyone keeps arguing over established Census guidelines.
