3rd in size often means less but similar to the other larger cities [Los Angeles & NYC]. One example: television. There are some shows viewed nationally from Chicago but much less than both New York & LA.
That's a good example, albeit a category I would consider minor in light of the areas in which Chicago ranks first or second. Anyway, what seminary was it? Not the one in Lombard?

Will people please stop listing TV shows as reasons for wanting to live in a city!
How does it have anything to do with quality of life!

Well, pretty much everyone I know who moved to Chicago cites as their reason: either "Married with Children", "ER", "Early Edition" or "Good Times". Personally, I moved here solely for Bozo the Clown.
Any list that includes Miami and Atlanta as world cities but not Los Angeles suggests something is definitely amiss.
The Mayor of Los Angeles must have missed this big "World Mayors Meeting" and therefore didn't get to make his case. He was probably at the beach, surrounded by beautiful women with large breastatos...or something stupid like that.
For the sake of Los Angeles I don't think it's skyline sucks that bad. Yeas it is kinda depressing, but it's a major improvment from like whatever it was 5 or six years ago. L.A. has acutally added some new buildings in it's skyline as of 2008 2009 and there now visible in the skyline. Take a gander at this.
LA's skyline doesn't suck at all...it's actually very nice in my opinion. Is it NYC or Chicago? Hell no. But nobody in the United States compare to those cities. One could argue the only two other skylines that could compare with them are Hong Kong and Shanghai.
I've been in Chicago for 8 years, and I have hardly ever heard anyone in Chicago compare the place to LA. They're TOTALLY different styles of cities and focus around different things.
People live in Chicago because they want to. People live in LA because they want to. .
And because more poeople want to live in LA that in Chicago, LA is clearly a better place.
PS. Judging a city by its skyscrapers is really shallow.
