Switzerland's population would make it one of the biggest cities in the world, more than double the population of Los Angeles, and more than New York City. Neither of which could be counted as high trust.
- socalgal2 1y agoThe population of Switzerland is ~9 million. The population of LA metro is around 15 million, and NYC metro aroound 20 million LA "the city" might be less but you can't tell where LA ends and it's other parts begin. It's one giant metropolis. Same with NYC.
- antonvs 1y agoYou can tell where the city ends very easily. There are well-defined boundaries. Government statistics take that into account. Here's the census page for the city of Los Angeles, which lists a population just under 4 million: https://data.census.gov/profile/Los_Angeles_city,_California?g=160XX00US0644000 https://data.census.gov/profile/Los_Angeles_city,_California...
