America's Rudest Cities

[CountDeMoney]

The biggest city in Ohio for example is Columbus, by a long shot--it has almost 800,000 people (Cleveland is under 400,000 and Cincy is just under 300,000) but to my mind both Cincy and Cleveland "feel" more big-cityish than Columbus. Density bears it out, Cincy is 4200/sq. mi., and Cleveland is 5100/sq. mi., Columbus is 3500/sq. mi. At a certain point you have to question how valid a city's actual population is if the city has just grown preposterously large geographically. As a comparison Columbus covers something like 5 times as much area as Paris or San Francisco (actually combined, both of those cities are around 40 sq. mi. and Columbus is 200+.) Columbus has about 2/3rds the land of New York City's five boroughs but is about 10% of their population.

Same thing with Vineland, NJ.  Largest city in New Jersey:  in square footage, but not nearly the humanity packed in like Newark.

Also, highly amused that Anchorage made the top 20.

It's certainly not surprising.

What the fuck are you trying to imply?
