War of the cities

uneven comparison

[march2]

NEW YORK VS CHICAGO - Winner: Chicago --- More affordable. Not nearly as dense and crowded. Friendlier.
HOUSTON VS DALLAS - Winner: Dallas --- More to do. This was a close one.
WASHINGTON D.C VS BALTIMORE - Winner: Washington, DC --- Just more of everything. History, culture, beauty.
BOSTON VS PHILADELPHIA - Winner: Boston --- Another close one. A bit friendlier than Philly.
HARTFORD VS PROVIDENCE - Winner: Hartford --- Just a stronger area overall than Providence.
CLEVELAND VS MILWAUKEE - Winner: Cleveland --- I just have a soft spot for Cleveland. Nicer area than they get credit for.
ALBUQUERQUE VS SAN ANTONIO - Winner: San Antonio --- Much more to offer across the board. Almost an unfair comparison.
DENVER VS PORTLAND - Winner: Denver --- Better climate and more to do.
SAN FRANCISCO VS SEATTLE - Winner: Seattle --- Fewer natural disasters and, though expensive, MUCH less so than SF.
SAN DIEGO VS TAMPA - Winner: Tampa --- Very affordable. Love the tropical climate. Some of the best beaches in the U.S.
SAN JOSE VS PHOENIX - Winner: Phoenix --- Much more affordable.
INDIANAPOLIS VS MINNEAPOLIS - Winner: Minneapolis --- A lot more to do.
CINCINNATI VS PITTSBURGH - Winner: Cincinnati --- Close, but is a better overall area.
SALT LAKE CITY VS BOISE - Winner: Salt Lake City --- Bigger with more to do.
MIAMI VS LOS ANGELES - Winner: Los Angeles --- Better location and more recreational assets.
ATLANTA VS MEMPHIS - Winner: Atlanta --- Much better area across the board.
ST. LOUIS VS KANSAS CITY, MO - Winner: Kansas City --- Again, much better area across the board.
NEW ORLEANS VS NASHVILLE - Winner: Nashville --- MUCH better quality of life, IMO.
DETROIT VS BUFFALO - Winner: Buffalo --- I love Upstate New York
CHARLOTTE VS AUSTIN - Winner: Charlotte --- Less expensive. More to do overall.

NEW YORK VS CHICAGO - I love New York. I was born and raised there, and can't say enough about how great it is. However, at this stage in my life, I'd much rather live in Chicago. Chicago.
HOUSTON VS DALLAS - Houston. Dallas strikes me as more conservative, and I can't deal with that.
WASHINGTON D.C VS BALTIMORE - DC. Baltimore has never particularly appealed to me.
BOSTON VS PHILADELPHIA - Boston. Philly is alright, but Boston has so much more of what I'm looking for (more liberal, more educated, etc.)
HARTFORD VS PROVIDENCE - Providence. Hartford is not appealing to me.
CLEVELAND VS MILWAUKEE - I'd likely have said Cleveland because of size, but Milwaukee has so many cool, funky things happening, and is only an hour away from Chicago. Milwaukee.
ALBUQUERQUE VS SAN ANTONIO - I've never been to Albuquerque. I gotta go with SA.
DENVER VS PORTLAND, OR - Denver. Portland is way too white and hipster for me.
SAN FRANCISCO VS SEATTLE - If money were no issue, San Francisco. Though, I do love Seattle.
SAN DIEGO VS TAMPA - San Diego. Tampa seems alright, but SD has so much more.
SAN JOSE VS PHOENIX - Phoenix. I've never been interested in SJ.
INDIANAPOLIS VS MINNEAPOLIS - Minneapolis, easily. Very liberal, very well-educated populace. Indianapolis doesn't have a leg to stand on.
CINCINNATI VS PITTSBURGH - Pittsburgh. Cincinnati was cooler than I expected, but Pittsburgh is becoming such a leader for those rust belt cities. It's much more exciting.
SALT LAKE CITY VS BOISE - SLC. Boise seems so damn boring.
MIAMI VS LOS ANGELES - Miami. Love me some Cuban food. Though, I'd love to live in LA at some point, as well.
ATLANTA VS MEMPHIS - Atlanta. Memphis seems pretty damn awful.
ST. LOUIS VS KANSAS CITY, MO - Tough one. I've heard a lot of surprisingly cool things about KC, so I feel like it gets my vote. SL just seems so...ordinary.
NEW ORLEANS VS NASHVILLE - New Orleans! Nashville is cool, but it can't compete with my home of 10+ years,
DETROIT VS BUFFALO - Detroit, though I've been to Buffalo a bunch and like it decently enough.
CHARLOTTE VS AUSTIN - Austin. Charlotte isn't quiiiite there yet.

Nashville, Minneapolis, and Atlanta are mismatched.

Winners:
-New York. A bigger world-class city, the U.S’s flagship, more amenities. Plus the metro area is better. Chicago isn’t bad though.
-Tie. Houston is cheaper, bigger, & has better food choices, but Dallas has the better transportation & metro, with Fort Worth as a secondary city.
-Washington D.C. D.C has a better metro area, transportation, amenities, & is less impoverished than Baltimore. Although Baltimore is an underrated city.
-Philadelphia. Philadelphia may have rougher & worst areas, but it’s still not as expensive as most other top cities. Plus it’s bigger than Boston
-Providence- A more well rounded city. More to do & less impoverished. Underrated for a small city
-Milwaukee. Better growth right now, although I think Cleveland is more interesting
-San Antonio. Albuquerque should be compared to Tucson instead of San Antonio.
-Denver- Cheaper, has 4 major sports teams, better scenery, plus access to the mountains/skiing. Portland has better transportation & downtown
-San Francisco- More interesting overall, even tough it’s expensive
-San Diego- Bigger than Tampa, more to do
-Phoenix- Much cheaper than San Jose
-Minneapolis- Underrated city. Has St.Paul, good growth, great park system, decent business center, & has 4 major sports teams.
-Tie- Both have decent growth, and a good amount of things to do. I think Cincinnati’s metro is better though
-Salt Lake City- Underrated small city. Good amenities, scenery, & access to skiing
-Los Angeles- A more well rounded city imo, with a better metro as well
-Atlanta- Getting good recognition, & has good public transportation for a Sun Belt city. Has 4 major sports teams as well
-Kansas City- Better growth
-Nashville- I’d rather visit New Orleans, but I choose Nashville
-Buffalo- Not declining as fast as Detroit, less blighted, decent transportation, plus close to Niagara Falls & not too far from Toronto(~2 hours away). Although Detroit has the better metro
-Austin- I do think it’s a little overrated, but it has great growth right now
