I voted for New York City, as it is my favorite city to visit. Los Angeles is the top-second, as many relatives live and work there. Still, I’m in love with NYC, as when you come closer to it, it seems like a real masterpiece, like mountain range, created by people. On one hand, a busy city, and on the other hand, a capital of art and culture.
You guys are buying his crap? You can't see the mountains in that pic because it's TAKEN FROM the mountains. I can see the mountains almost every day unless it's foggy (even smog usually doesn't block them) from my area all the way out by LAX.
However, I voted Toronto. It's like a cleaner and safer version of NYC.
My list is
Toronto and NYC
LA
Chicago
Mexico City
If this was world, it woul be Tel Aviv. It has nice hot summers and chilly winters (not like NYC or Chicago or Toronto, but colder than LA at night). The urban lifestyle is what I like with NYC. Beautiful beaches. Liberal culture.
Nah most compare it to Chicago when it's metro is Atlanta's size.

True in many ways. But it's much more international than Chicago and it is the economic hub of Canada like NYC is the economic hub of the US. I find its diversity and it being such a hub for immigrants more similar to NYC. Maybe in some ways it is a combination of the two, but I think the culture of it being a hub for immigration and the #1 city of a country is more like NYC.

What metro comparison are you using to compare it to Atlanta's metro?.. Canada doesn't have MSA's or CSA's we have CMA's which are smaller and more compact a measure and just not the same. If we did have MSA's, CSA's it would most certainly be larger than Atlanta's metro.. That's the problem with just assuming everyone else measures population the way you do! Did you know that there are CMA's contiguous with Toronto's CMA that would add to its metro population if it were in the U.S for example? Playing what if in 2016 - if Toronto was in the US its MSA would be between 7 and 7.5 million and its CSA would be between 9-9.5 million people.
If we use just city proper comparisons with these cities, than Toronto and Chicago fit practically the same number of people in the same area. Atlanta doesn't put 2.8 million people in 240 sq miles (it puts in 450K people in 134 sq miles), Toronto and Chicago do. That is why Chicago and Toronto feel like bigger and more dense beasts than Atlanta - because they are! Anyone who has been to Toronto, driven through its urban core and through the GTA wouldn't be using Atlanta as its comparison.
a smaller, cleaner NYC, with a dash of Chicago in the mix.
