Phoenix falls short in some of the basic measures that give people the sense of a big city. It anchors a metro area that doesn’t crack the top 10 in population. And the city itself is spread out. An urban core that was once a cohesive neighborhood went through decades of tear-downs.

If you count the bay, San Francisco is about the same size as Chicago. Its land area, however, covers just 46.8 square miles.
