This is your only warning. Discuss the list in the OP below, supply a list of your own top 10 cosmopolitan cities or move on to one of the other 200,000+ threads on City-Data. We don't need any more debates about the merits of individual cities and this is most certainly not the place to discuss which of these 10 cities have the best rail systems!

6. Boston
7. Dallas
8. SF
9. Atlanta
10. Houston
Wouldn't discussing things that make you feel a city is cosmopolitan be apart of the thread topic?
Well, there were about 50 posts arguing who had the better system, Houston or Atlanta. I am not exaggerating. Hence, I think, the reason for the mass delete.

Nope.
In those posts, were discussions on things that make Houston (and other cities) cosmopolitan. Including: mass transit, downtown vibrancy, downtown shops, etc.
I'm not willing to debate this, but since some questions were raised following the mass-delete of off-topic posts, I'm replying with more detail this one time.

Yes, but not to the exclusion of applying them to cities. There should be a geographical component to the topic to justify its presence here in General US.

Correct.

Not enough of that was happening in most of those posts to justify keeping those posts in the thread.

Yes, that would be closer to the original topic.

True, but some folks don't want to bother making an on-topic post, only to see it buried in a 54-post off-topic hijack discussing rail in Atlanta and Houston. The hijack was on-topic for the forum, but off-topic for the thread.
One reason there was a need to break off this hijack is that those types of discussion are now supposed to take place in the new City vs. City sub-forum. A discussion of a single cosmopolitan aspect of any two US cities could be a great topic in the new City vs. City sub-forum. I would encourage anyone who wants to compare rail systems, dance clubs, boutiques, etc. in two cities to start a thread there.
