Same thing with a lot of ‘large’ cities in the US. The city seems absolutely huge, but in reality it’s just a part of the metro area around it. Makes me wonder how New York and LA got so big without being a collection of a dozen smaller towns, even though they both have lots of surrounding suburbs of course.
How is it not just straight up Houston. It’s almost larger than Chicago now.
Because Houston isn’t a city, it’s just a never ending suburb.

Because they said city, not parking lot built on a bog.
