In this video I examine 10 different 1-on-1 matchups between cities of California and Texas. I compare similar cities in each state, choose which one I prefer based on various criteria, and assign a point to that state. This is Part 1 of a 2-part series. Part 1 will be approximately metros ranked 20-11 for each state and Part 2 will involve the 10 largest cities/metros of each state.
