Who ultimately saw the light and moved to Los Angeles! I think the US is so large that it would make sense for there to be more than just NYC in there. I think if we're setting Anglophone, developed, and Sydney/Toronto as essentially minimum sizes then it should be
Australia
- Melbourne
- Sydney
Canada
- Toronto
Singapore
- Singapore
UK
- London
US
- NYC
- Los Angeles
- Chicago
- Dallas
- Houston
- Washington DC
- Miami
- Philadelphia
- Atlanta
- Phoenix
- Boston
- San Francisco
Now that would give the US a lot more entrants, but that would also disperse a lot more of the US-biased votes and London would likely come out firmly ahead.
Votes would definitely scatter.
But using your list, I would rank as the following. (My opinion, added a few other Anglophone ones I remember)
1. Chicago
nr. Dublin
2. Boston
nr. Vancouver
--gap--
3. Melbourne
4. Toronto
5. NYC
--gap--
nr. Edinburgh
6. Sydney
7. Atlanta
--gap--
8. London
9. San Francisco
10. Philadelphia
11. Los Angeles
12. Washington DC
ur. Singapore?
--big gap--
13. Miami
--bigger gap--
14. Dallas
15. Phoenix
--big gap--
16. Houston
(Have not been to Singapore.. so I put it where I think it would rank?)

Lie flat beds on some BA short haul flights between London and Paris and Amsterdam, as well as Zurich, Stockholm and Athens..
Bit of a short nap though.
Eurostar trains are also finally getting more services operational after Covid, and thankfully the train is only a fraction of the BA airfare ..

The frequent-flyer website Head for Points is reporting that BA is using long-haul aircraft with lie-flat Club World beds on some of its shortest flights.
The main type is the ultra-long-haul Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which is being used on the 8.20am flight from Heathrow to Amsterdam on several days each week, and the 12.10pm departure in the opposite direction.
Travelling from London to the Dutch capital on 11 August, returning on 15 August, the return fare in business class is £275. The distance is 231 miles each way.
“Imagine your favourite armchair, your bed, your dining table, and your office; all in one,” says British Airways.
“Our Club World seats are designed for relaxing, sleeping, or getting work done, with more space and privacy.”
BA, like other airlines, is seeking to redeploy long-haul aircraft for cargo purposes, and is also believed to be providing pilots with continued experience.
The Boeing 787 is also being used on some links to Paris CDG – just 216 miles from London Heathrow – as well as Zurich, Stockholm and Athens.
The plane is also being used on flights to Larnaca, which is over 2,000 miles away, and to Moscow – formerly served by British Airways Boeing 747 Jumbo jets.
Irene won't fool the children of the revolution
No, Irene won't fool the children of the revolution

No, Irene won't fool the children of the revolution, no way, yeah, wow
Hmm… yes… you definitely have a bad case of Obsessive Irene Disorder (OID).
You need to go to the doctors as soon as possible. Tell them that you are having trouble with your OIDs, and they will probably give you some cream for it.

By the way, I’ve never put anyone on ‘Ignore’. Because if someone is gonna talk sh*t about me, I at least want to know what sh*t they are talking about.
Toronto and Sydney are not overrated because no one is saying they are super cities of the world.
Nobody is saying Detroit is a super city or Bristol is a super city, so does the same apply to them.
Most of the cities in the world are not so called super cities.
If you don't like major cities that's up to you, although this constant attacking of London is becoming tiresome.
In terms of cities all four are great cities - Sydney has a fantastic setting and is extremely beautiful and Toronto set besides the beautiful Lake Ontario’s north western shore, also enjoys some great trails and walks, sports facilities, shopping and leisure.
Then again I always try to find the positives rather than negatives which are often based on outdated stereotypes or falsehoods.
NYC is a fantastic city, although it would take you a long time to actually become familiar with the city beyond the tourist areas, and the same applies to most other big cities.

I am not constantly attacking London.
You keep calling people who say they do not find London to be all that "Irene" and "troll" and assume they are all one person with a mission to denigrate London by not saying it's the greatest place ever.!
I am simply stating what I feel, London is not a bad place, neither is NYC, but both are incredibly overrated!
I can name ten cities out of the top of my head that i find to be way cooler than London and NYC.
