If Cleveland can claim Akron can Cinci not claim Dayton? Would make a huge difference.

At least Columbus' central location makes sense for its large 8,971mi² considering how CSAs work.
If only there were objective measures called urban areas that don't follow arbitrary city or county lines. Oh wait, all three Cs are roughly the same population, and yet Columbus is only 516mi² while Cleveland sprawls 714mi² and Cincinnati 752mi²?
