This man knows what hes talking about, the city of Columbus annexed surrounding areas years ago and is able to extend many municipal benefits to its residents and qualify for federal money that Cleveland and Cincinnati do not. Because of the annexation Columbus is considered the largest "City" in Ohio by population ( over 754,885), however it has a smaller metropolitan region (1.7 million) than both Cleveland (2.1 million) and Cincinnati (2.2 million). The fact of the matter is the actual "City of Cleveland" is tiny, it does not own enough revenue generating real estate and posts terrible statistical figures furthering its sullied image, annexing the affluent suburbs would change this drastically. Unrelated to graffiti but interesting nonetheless.
