Reading is fundamental, folks. The OP is obviously challenging you to evaluate each city on the list and decide which of them is the MOST like NYC. They're not asking which city is actually similar to it.

Y'all work entirely too hard at being too dumb.
Or everybody else works too hard at creating dumb questions.
Twist it however you want, fine. But the answer is STILL none of the above. Most of those are probably the worst possible comparisons to NYC.

The poll is basically asking "which mammal is most similar to this rock". That's why people are saying none of the above. It's not that people don't understand the question, it's that they don't understand how to interpret the question when its apples and oranges.

No, it's that y'all are deciding to make it far more complicated it than it needs to be. 72 people voted on the poll and clearly understood what they were being asked; that there's a difference between "similar" and "most similar". Why can't you comprehend this?
It's not a "dumb" question just because you think none of these cities deserve to be compared to New York.

Actually, it seems if the OP went to the trouble to pick a list of the top 25 cities in the country that were most dissimilar to NYC. Well, none are similar, there are basically no similarities in any of them except they are cities with buildings.
It's like you are in a dairy section and trying to compare cheddar cheese to other cheese in a cheese section, there are probably 10 good options that fit, but instead you ask, which one of these yogurts is most similar to it? If that question seems dumb to you, well...there you have it, the original question is just as dumb.

Seattle has the thickest yogurt I guess.
BS. Some of these cities are incredibly diverse, others are quite large, others have similar weather, some have large skylines, some share the density, some of these cities are major ports, etc...There's a number of qualities that one can evaluate on a point system of sorts to decide which city they feel is the most like New York OF THIS LIST. Again, "most similar" is not the same as "similar".
That analogy makes no sense. Cheese and yogurt are two different things with different purposes. Cities are still cities, no matter how different they are from each other. Like I said, people are intentionally making it more complicated than it needs to be.

I think they're just being stubborn and thick headed because they don't like the question. Plus people take any comparison to NYC VERY seriously on this site lol.

Ok, can you tell us which city on this list shares these attributes with NYC? Because I can't think of any.
Which city has a similarly large skyline, or similar density, or similar size?

Are you suggesting they shouldn't?
NYC is not your ordinary city. It takes a behemoth to be in the same sentence as NYC. None of the cities on this survey deserve that privilege.
