USA Cities.....Population

[blstoker]

As for aggressive drivers, I think that's something that happens in every region that has fucked up traffic. I know it's bad in Cali and I've heard it's the same in the NY metro area. Add in those same assholes that can't put their phones down so they lag back and let all those fuckers cut them off and it makes for very frustrating commutes.

I lived in Wenatchee WA a few years ago. Personally, they have the worst drivers I have ever seen. Traffic laws are considered suggestions at best, and that includes traffic lights and stop signs. The only time I ever saw a police vehicle pull over someone for a violation was during their annual Apple Blossom. I just feel lucky to get out of that town alive (was t-boned by a guy running a red light - i was the third car in the line when our light turned green. How the hell do you blatantly blow through a red and hit the 3rd car. "sorry man, I thought the intersection would be clear." Moron).

Nothing beats the bad driver award like the guy I knew who I watched on his way to church pass a fire truck with lights blazing, and then cut him off to get back into the lane. I just watched in utter disbelief that he would do that!

Don't get me started on LA traffic.

Cities are irrelevant. STL City is 66 square miles and is well outside this list (with 318,000), but if it featured St. Louis County (like it used to), it would have 1.32 Million and would be #8. If it had both, there would be 590 square miles. Jacksonville is over 800 square miles.

The only way to do this is metro areas. Municipal boundaries are way too random.

Yeah, the metro areas are much larger, and it all looks like one big city. The Austin metro, is the third fastest growing metro in the country, with about 2 million people.

LA is still the king of shitty traffic.

Urban Development majors come from all over the world to see SanJose / Santa Clara. This is what happens when you FU!

What did you use for a source? Greater Boston is 4.5 million, which is typically how it is figured, for example

Yeah, it's kind of interesting now that I look at it. I've lived on the East Coast my whole life and from my experience the worst traffic is in Boston, DC and Atlanta. All of those are cities that look surprisingly low on that list (Atlanta isn't even on there) but have big populations in the Greater Metro areas, which probably means they have more commuters driving around the city at any given time. So I guess it kind of makes sense .

lol, don't get all sensitive. Bring up whatever conversation pieces you like. It's the dead season and it's not like there is a lot else to talk about outside of the 50 threads on the Pats and their cheating.

I just answered his question.

Is there only 50? I'll see what I can do to increase that number
