Easily Seattle. Followed by Houston and way back is Boston.

There seems to be some large, complex, and aggressive miscommunication here.

I guess I'll just......apologize?

Wo, wo, wo. You can't be throwing wild statements like this around without some sort of explanation.

You have to go back further. I was extending Boston's urban boundary to equal Seattle's. Someone said doing that is bs.

Oh, okay okay.

I agree with you then. Parts of Brookline, Cambrige, etc feel just as connected, if not more connected to the city than parts of Boston proper. (Coolidge Corner vs Upham's Corner. Maverick Square vs Kendall Square. Roslindale Village vs Davis Square.)

Extending Boston's city limits for the sake of a comparison is a very legitimate thing to do.

Seattle is more beautiful of the three but it is too isolated.
Houston I don't really care for. BORING down town, humid, big bugs. But they do have a nice galleria.....
Boston. I have never been there but would love to go. It sounds excising and the location is great, close to NYC, great history.

But Seattle win because I have family there and I also used to live there. So Im a little biased. And of course it is the home of the:

SEAHAWKS!

Go Hawks!
Thanks for pulling off a win tonight...barely...

I love accents. And the Boston accent sounds cool to me.

Seattle is wonderful, but I agree that it is rather isolated. A perfect world would move Boston to the Pacific Northwest right next to Seattle

Actually NorthEastern University Has a campus downtown Seattle in South Lake Union so its like a part of Boston In Seattle.

Seattle I find the most attractive and has by far the best scenery. It has a happy medium of being not too sprawly, while still having a great downtown, quite walkable and a semi dense city but not too dense and crowded. While Seattle is one of my favorite cities I'd prefer somewhere more sunny.

Boston would be my second choice, I've never been but it looks charming and fun and a great sports town.

Houston I don't care for much, aesthetically it's just not a very nice looking city, kind of ugly actually, and has an awful downtown which is a shame since it's the 4th largest city in the country and biggest in Texas. It's just a business trip kind of city, definitely not on the tourist radar though they do have good food.

So I come back to this thread and see that Seattle has finally taken it's rightful City Data place. I'm impressed Houston was able to hang on for as long as it did considering it's up against two fairly dense cities.
