Is it?
States with 3 or more MSAs over 1 mil
California: 6
LA, Inland Empire, SF, SD, Sac, SJ (plus Fresno soon enough) I
Texas: 4
D/FW, Houston, ATX, SATX
Florida: 4
South Florida (Miami, West Palm, Ft Lauderdale), Tampa/St.Pete, Orlando, Jax
Ohio: 3
Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati
New York: 3
NYC, Buffalo, Rochester

Side note: the only state with a reasonable possibility with current growth rates to be added to the above list over the medium term is, oddly, South Carolina, a state that currently has zero metros over 1 mil.
