I mean, you have Washington DC metro, which counts Arlington and Alexandria in their "MSA", which those cities are clearly very distinct cities on their own, even though I do think they should be counted into the metro, and then you add on Baltimore into their CSA. Atlanta adds on Gainesville and Sandy Springs into the CSA? Those places are already clearly absorbed into the megablob of Atlanta, they should be in the MSA easily. IF anything, Athens, Macon, Columbus, maybe even Greenville, Chattanooga, cities that far out would be my interpretation of the CSA. But i guess it all boils down to technicalities.

Heck, the DC/Baltimore CSA includes like 4 states, why shouldn't ours? We clearly influence the states around us, SC, AL and TN?
