Most adults should be able to figure out that IN THIS CONTEXT "big" refers to land mass relative to population.

Yes, NYC has a dense population, and yes, it also has the best public transit in the country.

And your best is twice the price for something strictly worse. (I've used NY public transport, it's much worse than anything I've seen in Germany).

One thing adults often also do, and which you just did by continuing to ignore the point, is treat arguments as soldiers.
