i say this is really between Los Angeles and New York. the honest truth is chicago is underrated. nobody in real life talks about chicago ever even thought the downtown area is beauitiful. you can look and any forum and you will see LA or NY. But ill pick LA bcuz i love real homes with land and there is alot to do
hahaha why u mad downtown? i only speak the truth. when was the last time we seen anything about chicago in the media? just mention Los Angeles in and forum and it will start a riot. but mention chicago, then nobody cares. lol im not going by that site you showed me bcuz nobody talks about those cities either. hey i live in southern cali and i dont hear anyone saying anything about san fran. 50 years ago chicago had a higher population than LA but look at it now. lol you people are like gangs. i can see if im lieing.

Thanks to a large influx of illegal immigrants, the quality of life in Los Angeles is considered the worst among 25 major cities. Read this survey, Donnie. LA ranks LAST among 25 cities in terms of quality of life

I'm sorry San Francisco dropped to #5 because of that earthquake in 1906 that gave the "Premier city in the West" title to Los Angeles. Each of the four cities represents each of the four regions of the United States. The Western United States has already been taken. Sorry! Better luck next time. Oh wait, what next time?
Thanks to a large influx of illegal immigrants, the quality of life in Los Angeles is considered the worst among 25 major cities. Read this survey, Donnie. LA ranks LAST among 25 cities in terms of quality of life
lol why u keep posting up that bad link? that is a survey. just tell me if LA is the worst than why does it have the most tourist? in 1950 chicago population was 3,620,962 and in 2006 the population is 2,833,321 .
same with san fran, they had all those people and now look what rank it falls in. wow by going by the list alot of new yorkers left the city also. while LA population is constantly growing.

Talking about celebrity, let's all congratulate NY for having Mahmoud Ahmadinejad over at Columbia, turning him into a rock star and promoting him as just another NY story, while hiding that promotion under the gise of outrage over his being there in the first place. You can see the pleasure of outrage all over the faces of everyone out in the street, searching for the nearest camera. Now, that's fake! Reminded me of when John Kennedy Jr. died and the residents of his NY neighborhood ran around looking for the nearest cameras, screaming, "He was one of us! He was one of us!" Actual quote. Now these things are the most fun of NY.

I'd rate Austin, Boston, SF, D.C., Miami, Portland, Seattle, San Diego above Houston. Size isn't the only determinent of what makes a city great. Tehran, Iran has a larger population than NY. But I'd rate NY above it. I'd even rate Dallas and Atalanta above Houston. In any event, it is absurd to compare SF to Houston. Houston has annexed much of its surrounding area. If you include the entire "Bay Area" (S.J., Silicon Valley, the East Bay), SF is a major metropolitan area. Houston is for people in oil, poor immigrants, locals who don't know any better, and transplants that can't afford the nice parts of the country. I still don't understand why we can't be honest on these forums- Houston blows.
