[houstonsemipro]

I ran into some people talking about this city land is bigger than that city land, and I didn't beleive them. So, I done some resreach on the top 10 cities in the U.S.

You forgot Jacksonville. It has 800 some square miles although one wouldnt call it a "top" city.

Jacksonville is not rank in the top 10 biggest cities. Jacksonville is ranked 14th, and yes, their land is the biggest at 757.7. But I'm doing the top 10 biggest cities.

I checked the new city of houston website, and they mention the land size is now 636.12 according the 2005 statics.

I'm confused, as how am I supposed to guess which city is the biggest in land area when you've given me the answers already?

My thoughts exactly!

philadelphia is no where near that size; more like 150 sq miles.

Juneau Alaska is the largest city in America according to land size at 3081 square miles - look it up... that's not a mistake. It's larger than the state of Delaware and has a population of less than 35,000. Jacksonville is #2 with over 800 square miles. Oklahoma city is in there somewhere too... Of course, you very conveniently limited the poll to the Top Ten cities so that you could spin the debate that started in the other thread.

Maybe your next poll should be, "What is the largest U.S. City with a name spelled H.O.U.S.T.O.N."

Okay, who was the moron that brought this poll back from the dead?

[tamtagon]

Can I change my answer to Dallas?

[Guest Marty]

This poll is meaningless with the answers next to the city.

[KinkaidAlum]

Is this poll similar to the alternative entry exams into UT-Austin for "student" athletes?

and I am just replying because the topic title is hilarious. Thought famous adult film stars was the subject.

My wife and I lived in Jacksonville, FL and it is completely a misnomer about how big the city is. My wife and I moved from Dallas to there and had a huge culture shock because it felt so small. There is so much vacancy and land in the city that is not even developed. It is still a very small city and should never be considered as a large city. We could not wait to get back to a big city and glad we are in Houston.

If that's what you're looking for, take heart, the Lone Star Pornutopia weekend is going to be in town next weekend.

A porn convention, if you will.

Why is this a poll?

I always assumed Los Angeles had more square miles than Houston. LA is vast.
