OK - metro population for the Twin Cities is about 3 million; 4 area
codes? NYC, with ~8 million, has 5 (3 for Manhattan, two for the outer
boroughs).
1 area code has about 10,000,000 numbers, so New York has 50/8, or 6
numbers available per person. Metro Minneapolis/Saint Paul has 40/3, or
about 13. Are you saying that people in the Twin Cities talk twice as much
as New Yorkers?
