Assuming NYC, LA, Chicago, DC, SF, and Boston are the country’s top 6 cities at the moment (based on cultural, political, and economical importance/contribution, etc.), then which city is #7?
*if you disagree with the “top 6”, feel free to revive any of the linked threads.
I voted Dallas for its huge corporate role, as well as being at least the equal of the others on the logistics/infrastructure side. The tiebreaker goes to the biggest city.
Are we taking into account rising sea levels and green energy? I hope and wish the best for Houston but it has a lot of challenges in the near future. Seattle's topography, climate, tech industry, and attitude toward green energy gives it the upper hand imo. The only thing it has less of is people, which isn't necessarily a bad thing..
Same can be said for Miami. However, I really respect Miami's distinct culture and identity. I'd say Miami has the upper hand in those categories compared to any of these metros.

Seattle isn't even top 10. It could be in the future though
