Excuse me. Bogota and Buenos Aires are bigger than LA and are Spanish speaking cities.
If the person came up with that based on Metro populations, which most people do, then Los Angeles would still be larger than Buenos Aires, Bogota, Madrid, etc. The only larger speaking Spanish city left would be Mexico City.
I don't know how Spanish metro L.A. is or what percentage of it speaks Spanish so I'm not going to argue that it really ranks #2.

Then they should say metro because the general public knows nothing of this metro vs city population thing we judge by here. When you say city there is only one thing a city is.

Wrong. Hardly ANYBODY uses just city limit population figures. And you certainly don't speak for the general public.

The general public usually uses the metro populations by default.
Tell the average person that Miami and Atlanta barely have 500,000 people and see the reaction that you get. Same with thing with L.A. and maybe NYC.
No one is really putting LA above NYC, it's the NY boosters that over exaggerate the negatives of LA, and over-hype the positives of NYC. That's how it's been on EVERY NYC vs (Insert City), since C-D's conception. It always starts out with some faux-intellectual singing NYC's praises, while pointing out and condemning LA for being too spread out, sprawly, un-European, fake, too Hollywood, to laid-back(thus reflecting stupidity and laziness in there minds), and to much like middle and southern America(although LA is quite different). They criticize it's auto-centric life-style, and say how diverse it's not, do to it's large Mexican population(which doesn't mean it's less diverse, it just means it has alot of Mexicans along with it's diversity) All this causes Angelenos to jump into defense mode, which may seem as attack mode to the average New Yorker, or east-coaster(alot of the NYC boosters on here aren't from NYC, and are just from the east-coast). Repeat this process a MILLION times, and there you have it.

It's okay to love your hometown/coast. Or love somewhere you'll someday visit. I honestly still think it's funny. I don't consider myself "a booster" or anything of that nature. My opinion is only that, an opinion. My view and love for my city will never change and neither will it change for people in other cities.
Call us exaggerating, but 8Million people don't have to live here.
Just saying. It not our fault (NYers) we're very proud to be NYers and we will let you know at any cost.

Nobody off this site uses metro figures. When you look up population of New York City people google just that and get the 8 million people answer. Noone googles population of the NY metro area except for people here. You do not speak for the general public either because you are not general public if you are on here.

People use metro figures for just about every city except NYC. In the minds of most people, I think, NYC is only the Boroughs, whereas Atlanta and Dallas are the city propers plus their surrounding areas.
