It would be like if you combined all of Long Island into a municpality, and then wondered why this "big city" of nearly 3 million doesn't have a "big downtown skyline". Because it isn't really a "big city".

Long Island (even sans Brooklyn/ Queens) is huge in area compared to San Jose. The population of Chicago in an area 2x the size of Houston. Now if Hempstead were an actual city as opposed to a town, that too would be considered a 'big city'; the second largest in NYS after NYC itself.
