not OP, but according to some of those definitions (cambridge, collins, longman), NYC would be the only metropolis in the US, as it is the US' largest, busiest, and most important city.

It goes by region. LA, San Diego, Chicago, Sacramento, San Francisco, Milwaukee, Detroit, Charlotte, Tulsa, San Antonio, Dallas, Atlanta, Cleveland, Las Vegas, Denver, etc... all fall under the definitions of a metropolis. And the most important city in US is not NYC, it's Washington DC. NYC is just the most populated and industrialized, DC trump's it in significance because that's the epicenter of trade, labor, and industry policies

DC Trump's it in significance

Looks like you need to post about politics less.

Lol. Wut? Talking about DC doesn't mean I'm talking about politics
