Why don't you use a where instead of a group function?

Hey all,

I have a table like this:

boroughID       Area
=========       ====
1               Chelsea
1               East Village
1               West Village
1               So Ho
2               Prospect Park
2               Brooklyn Heights
3               Prospect Heights

What I want to know is which boroughID has the
most area's assocated with it, and how many.

So I tried this:

SELECT max(count(*)) FROM  `bsp_area` GROUP  BY
boroughID

...and got an "Invalid use of group function" error.

Anyone think of another way to do this in a single
SQL statement, or some other simple method?
