"I dont like these consolidated metro areas CSAs for example Baltimore Washington where I once lived.  Sure there is some overlap with commuters going towards Baltimore or DC in the Maryland suburbs but ask any Washingtonian if they feel connected to Baltimore and the answer would be no. And I would say vice versa. This being said I do see the Raleigh Durham area being a one metro many people from Wake county commute to the Durham county side of the RTP and some the other way. I do view Raleigh Durham as one metro and the same with Greensboro Winston Salem and High Point.   But a Miami to Port St Lucie metro  in south Florida is crazy. Hardly anyone in Palm Beach county commutes to Miami Dade though a few do I am sure but Martin County which is the county north of Palm Beach hardly no one would commute that far south. Each of those 4 south Florida counties have some overlap but jumping from Martin County to Miami Dade is a bridge too far so to speak.    Charlotte is in the top 25 which is good and of course we are growing fast. \n "
