Lastly another angle on "NYC is ridiculous." Let's combine the New York and Philadelphia CSAs, along with the Allentown MSA which would be 80% surrounded. This New York-Philadelphia SuperCSA would have a population of 31,824,238 and include the entire state of New Jersey, as well as stretching from New Haven, CT to the corner of Maryland.

New York + Philadelphia + Allentown SuperCSA: 23,674 ppsm

New York City's weighted population density can swallow metro Philadelphia and still be well above the 20k mark.
