New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has certainly weighed-in on the Obama administration’s approach to the financial sector in the past, and recently Newark Mayor Cory Booker’s remarks on private equity have dominated the news. It turns out, however, that any number of other American municipalities are larger than Newark. Some of them even have black mayors! Perhaps someone will phone them all up to see what they think about Obama, Romney, and private equity. Here’s a list (note that for these purposes we’re counting municipalities rather than metro areas, since mayors are at issue):
- Los Angeles
- Chicago
- Houston
- Philadelphia
- Phoenix
- San Atnonio
- San Diego
- Dallas
- San Jose
- Jacksonville
- Indianapolis
- San Francisco
- Austin
- Columbus
- Fort Worth
- Charlotte
- Detroit
- El Paso
- Memphis
- Baltimore
- Boston

- Nashville
- Denver

After Saint Paul comes Newark and obviously NYC is bigger than Los Angeles.
