L.A. should be dead last. I'd order them as:

1. Boston
2. San Francisco
3. Philly
4. DC
5. L.A.

The mods do an horrible job on this forum. They let sneaky but yet still obvious anti Philly trolls like "South Philly bro" and "Philly's south" (that are probably the same person and have no affiliation with the city whatsoever) troll away. But they will ban a troll that praises Philly in a second like "Skrillex". Anyway, a troll is a troll and they should be banned regardless.

San Francisco is a huge urban center, but comparing it to Philadelphia is like comparing a small stone to a cinder block. Philadelphia is the definition of urban, it has URBAN written all over it. Also when many people think of Philly, they think of URBAN. I'm not saying SF's not urban but come on this is ridiculous. Only someone from San Francisco could say that its more urban than Philly.
