Yeah because nothing says "business prestige" like the home office for Visa cards...
Or host of the Teen Choice Awards...
Anyways, this thread is nearing shutdown. I just hope it's not that obnoxious "let's remove a 100 odd posts now" type shutdown. Because this thread is a gold read in terms of some comedy.
There's quite a drop off after the Bay Area too and LA doesnt even rank.
GAWC Command and Command Cities, 2012
Tokyo 6.8797
New York 6.5162
London 5.5968
Beijing 5.4434
Paris 5.0274 BAY AREA 4.0590
Seoul 2.1755
Moscow 1.7560
Hong Kong 1.7127
Dallas 1.6883
Washington DC 1.6056
Zurich 1.5518
Chicago 1.4084
Toronto 1.4039
Power+Wealth are prerequisites of Prestige as far as Im concerned and the Bay Area is definitely wins vs LA in both ways,
The Bay Area is too multinodal for San Francisco to go toe to toe with LA. The Bay Area packs quite a punch, but its not solely due to San Francisco alone.
Persons below the poverty line, 2014
Los Angeles City 862,827...22.4% of the Population
San Francisco-Oakland UA 399,874...11.7% of the Population
Money must be factored into determining prestige because it's expensive to live in prestigious places, no?
LOL
Anyhow, attitudes on a host of things are so different between LA and SF.
Persons Earning $75,000+ Who commute via public transportation:
San Francisco-Oakland UA 108,711
Los Angeles City 7,540
Median Earnings of workers who commute via public transportation:
San Francisco-Oakland UA $47,572
Los Angeles City $16,675
Oakland is the trashiest city on the West coast. You're delusional to think Oakland is better than LA. Get the mops because LA mops the floor of stains like Oakland. SF isn't more prestigious and coveted than LA and Oaklands the Detroit of the west coast
Nyc loses more than la. Because it has millions more.
So I guess nyc isn't prestigious any more.
Haha no need to be upset. Facts are fatcts.
I was correcting an inaccurate statement made by Estudiamos. In fact, more people are leaving Los Angeles than moving in.
That's life.
