I will try. Out of the top 15 universities in the world three are in SF/LA (Caltech, Berkley, and Stanford) whereas only two are in NY/BOS (Harvard and Princeton).

Overall, I would rank the cities as NY>LA>>>SF>>BOS, which gives the advantage to LA/SF.

LOL wut? Ever heard of MIT and Columbia? Ahhh I get it, you're just joking around. You have to be joking around, because if you were being serious you've made quite a fool of yourself.

Btw, as you can see by my username, I'm from Cali.

NYC >>>>>> LA >> SF > Boston. NYC alone stomps.

I think the WEST coast over took the East coast some while ago in terms of global iconicity and impact ...
If you're including the entire coasts, then that also includes DC, which can arguably compete with NYC as most iconic + powerful city in the entire world

And it's widely accepted that NYC is the #1 city in the US. Don't like threads that involve NYC? Well you're the one that made this thread...

No. I'm not joking around at all. Read this: Caltech again ranked world's top research campus by British magazine - LA Times

Also, the hierarchy of cities in the USA is as follows:

Top tier: NYC/LA
Next tier: Chicago
Next tier: DC/SF
Next tier: Boston/Philadelphia/Dallas/Houston
Next tier: Miami/Atlanta/Seattle/Minneapolis/Denver/etc.

I think more people would agree with my tier list.



NYC



LA


Chicago

SF/DC

Boston/Philly/Miami/Atlanta/Houston/Dallas

Seattle/Minneapolis/Denver/Phoenix etc..

So essentially the main disagreement is how much more important NY is than LA, and how much more important SF is than Boston.

Is this poll to live or visit? Visit I enjoy LA and SF but to live NY/Boston and it is closer to me on the East Coast.
