Nigerian brehs, I thought Lagos was crowded and congested

[Koba St]

Why hasn’t a city of Lagos’s size got a subway?

 

[UberEatsDriver]

Never said that, but based on the video crowded and congested doesnt represent the whole city either

do you have the entire bread to put down? No mortgages

 

[UberEatsDriver]

What is with the “phase 1, 2, 3” designations? I’m assuming Lekki is newly developed but are the “phase” designation included in the legal name of the neighborhood? It just sounds a little odd.

It would be like the Palms Jumeirah Islands in Dubai being referred to as Palms Jumeirah Phase 1 or Palms Jumeirah Phase 2 instead of just Palms Jumeirah even as it is being developed.



The city of New Haven is not in the State of New York. Neither is it a suburb of NYC.

Imagine putting more effort into comprehension than correction.

Yes it is.

“New Haven is a coastal city in the U.S. state of Connecticut. It is located on New Haven Harbor on the northern shore of Long Island Sound in New Haven County, Connecticut, and is part of the New York metropolitan area.”


Also the Metro North from Grand Central goes there. So it most definitely is a suburb of NYC!

Imagine being in New Haven CT thinking “nyc not as crowded as I thought”

or imagine posting a video you couldn't even watch 2mins of, where he says he's an hour outside Lagos

I stay on the Lagos Mainland where things are cheaper but it is congested AF....... towards Lagos Island,Lekki phase 2, ajjah and further beyond it gets less and less congested but more expensive, but then the further out you keep going it gets affordable again......so thats where most young people are flocking to.....this right here he says is 1 hour past Lekki Phase 1 so its going to be not that congested and relatively low key and quiet and its just about going to start getting just as affordable as the mainland....but its so far away from the mainland i cant rock with it.

Have they built a community around it. A lot of cities with shytty traffic have "islands" with malls and such so you don't have to go to the city except for work.

Probably too crowded to built one now. I know Abuja has a subway system.

You could even say Nairobi has one but that's being extremely generous.

 

[Mike Nasty]

Looks nice quite and affordable, but all the units look completed and there's only like 2 occupied.

 

[Jalether]

If you have ever been stuck in a 4 hour motionless traffic in Lagos, like I have, you wouldn't say that OP

Just because it’s a part of a metropolitan area doesn’t mean that it’s a suburb.

New Haven is a satellite city. Darien is a suburb.

Kenosha, WI and Gary, IN are both part of the the Chicagoland area. And we equally have commuter lines that branch out to both cities. However, they are not suburbs, they are satellite cities.

New Haven is not even a part of Fairfield County which are where the NYC suburbs of Connecticut are located.

Just because it’s a part of a metropolitan area doesn’t mean that it’s a suburb.

New Haven is a satellite city. Larchmont is a suburb.

Kenosha, WI and Gary, IN are both part of the the Chicagoland area. And we equally have commuter lines that branch out to both cities. However, they are not suburbs, they are satellite cities.

Satellite cities are essentially cities located In the burbs of large cities.

The Metro North from Manhattan literally takes you to New Haven.

The whole purpose of the Metro North and LIRR is to accommodate people who live in “NYC” suburbs.


New Haven and The Hamptons are literally almost the same distance away from Manhattan.

Satellite cities are essentially cities located In the burbs of large cities.

Not necessarily.

Satellite cities are smaller cities that are near to a large city that is the center of a metropolitan area. They are different from suburbs, subdivisions and bedroom communities because they have their own centre. Satellite cities could be separate cities outside of the larger metropolitan areas. For example, London has several satellite cities, like Brentwood, Crawley and Chelmsford. New Haven and Bridgeport are among the satellites of New York City. Ipswich, Queensland, is a satellite to Brisbane (Australia) and Kitchener and Guelph, to Toronto (Canada).

New Haven and The Hamptons are literally almost the same distance away from Manhattan. I guess The Hamptons aren’t a NYC burb either

I don’t know anyone that considers the Hamptons “suburbs” of New York City.

 

[UberEatsDriver]

Not necessarily.





I don’t know anyone that considers the Hamptons “suburbs” of New York City.

The whole Long Island is a NYC suburb.

Also the definition of a satellite city you just posted is essentially saying satellite cities are near large cities that are the center of a METROPOLITAN area.

Basically saying what I mentioned earlier.......that Satellite cities are cities located in a suburb.

 

[invalid]

Nope.

This.....

Also the definition of a satellite city you just posted is essentially saying satellite cities are near large cities that are the center of a METROPOLITAN area.

Does not equal this.....

Basically saying what I mentioned earlier.......that Satellite cities are cities located in a suburb.

That is not what that definition is saying go back and re-read.

The whole Long Island is a NYC suburb.

Nope.

The Hamptons was the “country” and where wealthy New Yorkers who occupied apartments in the UES or homes in Bronxville built their “country estates”.

How are the Hamptons suburbs when the majority of its residents do not occupy the hamlets “year round”?

The Hamptons are “summer colonies”.

You are a NYC realtor. You should know the difference between these distinctions.

Suburb
Satellite City
Summer Colony

I would expect my realtor to know these things.

My dude stop it!

The Hamptons are part of Suffolk County, NY. Both Suffolk and Nassau counties are NYC burbs

There is no such thing as one part of a county being a suburb of a city and the rest of the county not being a suburb. No such thing exist.

And back to the satellite city comment yes the article you posted is saying exactly what I said.

Your article stated that a Satellite city is near a large city that is the center of a metropolitan area which means the Satellite lcity is also part of the metro area.

metropolitan area is a geographic term that defines the burbs.

You’re using exact definitions of locations that do not change the fact that these areas are all located in a Metropolitan area.

There is no such thing as one part of a county being a suburb of a city and the rest of the county not being a suburb. No such thing exist.

Info about Suffolk:

Suffolk County /ˈsʌfək/ is a predominantly suburban county and is the easternmost county in the U.S. state of New York.

It says it is predominantly suburban which means there are portions of the county that are not.

The Hamptons have not now nor have they ever been considered suburbs of NYC.

And back to the satellite city comment yes the article you posted is saying exactly what I said.

No it’s not. You need to pay more attention to language and detail.

Your article stated that a Satellite city is near a large city that is the center of a metropolitan area which means the Satellite lcity is also part of the metro area.

No that’s not what it means. Milwaukee is a satellite city of Chicago and is not a part of the Chicagoland area. Philly is technically a satellite to NYC and yet it is not part of the NYC metro area.

That definition says it’s “near” that means the city may or may not be in the metro areas of the hub city but still near enough to where it is relatively commutable to access.

metropolitan area is a geographic term that defines the burbs.

The definition of metropolitan area courtesy of dictionary.com:

of or relating to a large city, its surrounding suburbs, and other neighboring communities: the New York metropolitan area.

The definition of metropolitan area courtesy of brittanica.com:

Metropolitan area, also called Metropolis, a major city together with its suburbs and nearby cities, towns, and environs over which the major city exercises a commanding economic and social influence.

By these definitions, metropolitan areas include jurisdictions outside of a hub city and its suburbs.

Your claim is that New Haven and the hamlets that comprises the Hamptons are suburbs of NYC because they are within the domicile of the NYC metro area.

I’m telling you that just because they are within the domicile of the metro area does not make them suburbs.

This could be easily settled. Go to city data and start a thread asking the question of whether the two areas have been traditionally viewed as or can be technically defined as suburbs and let’s see what the responses are. And then link the thread here Mr. NYC.

If the responses are in your favor I will concede your superior NYC metro knowledge and fall back plus give you reputation.
