Would the locals call it Oklahoma Joe's Tower?

lolz some touchy New Yorkers...

Probably why people are leaving your state in droves

New York Population 2018

19,862,512
New York State is the fourth largest state in the United States of America in 2018 based on our latest projections, with a population of 19.86 million. The most recent official estimates from July 2015 put New York's population at 19,795,791. This estimate represents a 2.1% increase since 2010.

Bearing in mind Chelsea has been an area of London for longer than the US has been a country, I’d be interested to see them try.
Not to mention a certain football team

And Haarlem has been a city in the Netherlands since the 13th century.

Soho is also a district in London. (since late 17th century)

Chelsea is an area of New York City, many art dealers. Also, Essex, Suffolk, Hampton, etc... many cities and counties who have breached your challenge, long ago. Its everywhere..

And "London" was a region within the ancient city state of Mycenae (where modern day Greece lies) from 3,600 years ago. What's your point?

IIRC, up until fairly recently, New York State was the third most populous state in the country. Hmmm, I wonder which state has grown so much in population (including a great deal of former NYers) that it has overtaken New York for that designation?

I would put the over under on the number of New York posters in this thread at 0.5.

Incidentally, since I was curious and looked this up, a large fraction of the population lives in urban areas, some of which cross state borders. I'll use the metric of cities having an NFL team as the scale to measure against.

Approximately 35% of the US population lives in urban areas bigger than the largest urban area without an NFL team (Riverside, with Las Vegas just behind it), and 45% in cities bigger than the smallest urban area with an NFL team excluding Green Bay (New Orleans). 61% of the population lives in an urban area bigger than Green Bay, but that's cheating a little because Green Bay is less than a quarter of the size of New Orleans.

Altogether, 72% of the population lives in what the census defines as an urban area (50k+), or in cities bigger than Pascagoula, Mississippi.

Is the LV metro area really bigger than 2.8mil? (that's the size of the St. Louis metro)

Google says 2.25 million

The number I saw was 2.2 mill for all of Clark County.

I may have counted St. Louis as an NFL city.

To be fair baby boomers are the largest generation and all those baby boomer New Yorkers had to go somewhere to die

My dad is 70 and now I feel bad for making that joke. I’m gonna go call my Mom

It took you until 5:37pm on Mother's Day to call your mom? What kind of child did she raise.

Who said it was the first time that day I called her. I just felt bad about making a death joke about her generation (dad is older that’s why he got mentioned first).

Classic 2+2 prick reply though nice job

I thought it was just a joke, as opposed to genuinely digging you out.

Dangerous to post on the internet without smilies

It’s okay the elderly around here are almost as bad as the social destitute. To see a combo of both head over to the Vegas Vlog thread

Spent plenty of time in the VVT

Come on now you know I was joking, but yeah bolded part tough but fair.
