Nonsense. The countries aren't equivalent. If I say "what are the three most important cities in the U.S., Belize, and Guatemala", obviously the answer would be three cities in the U.S.

The most important cities are the three biggest cities. NYC, LA and Mexico City are all at least twice the size of any other city in North America, which is why this combination is easily winning this poll.

Our Nola101. LA is NOT TWICE THE POPULATION OF CHICAGO Metro. You generally put down LA for Sprawl and other reasons and for sure Chicago. In land area it is very close to double Chicago's land mass.

Los Angeles (13.05 million), Chicago (9.52 million) metros

Los Angeles (3.88 million), Chicago (2.71 million) cities

LA is 500 square miles of which 469 square miles is land.
NYC is 469 square miles of which 305 square miles is land.
Chicago is 234 square miles of which only 7 square miles is not land.

Jacksonville Fl. Is 800 square miles , Yakutat, Alaska is a land area of 7,650.46 square miles, including glaciers and ice fields.

SURELY YOU DO NOT JUDGE AND ELEVATE A CITY BY LAND MASS?

By CSA LA is almost twice the size of Chicagoland, a very seamless connected CSA in less land than Chicagoland I might add, so NOLA wasn't that off.

There are 18-19 million people in the LA CSA and 9-10 million people in the Chicago MSA.

Last I checked, 18 is twice that of 9. Don't blame me if you can't do basic math.

And I have no idea what you're referring to re. land mass. What does land mass have to do with population? I'm pretty sure LA has a smaller land mass anyways, not that it matters.

Guess I will have to concede this one to our Nola101. Not so much with many other comments? When so many and myself said she is mistaken. We just don't present our comment with terms as "nonsense and ridicules" and any number of blatant denials to others post that inflame others in threads? Guess I and others should see it as her way? Come in a thread and many times chaos comes? This had me in error this time

These are the only poll choices that don't have New York in a sequence of three cities (the first four in the screenshot below), none of them have managed even one vote yet, they are the only choices without a single vote at this current time. It seems that while everyone has differing opinions -- as to be expected with 111 voter turnout -- that everyone unanimously agrees New York absolutely must be apart of the three.

Aww, cute. A country -- or better yet, a continent -- and its unanimously agreed upon premier city.

Steeps ... when can you actually write coherent and non-fragmented sentences that make grammatical sense, that don't come off as something from Google Translate? I've read a few of your posts, and literally have no idea what you are trying to convey 90% of the time.

So sorry "torontokid" I did not get a Canadian education But if my comment is meant for you? I will address it to "torontokid" . Or is it really "Shanghaikid"? By all your Shanghai pictures from Wikipedia on another thread. I just know it is not "bostonkid".

They do have a ignore feature in C-D?
