It's not my opinion - I should have posted a link. You'll find the information at GaWC - Inventory of World Cities. You'd probably enjoy life more if you could muster up some positivity - go ahead - try it.
Right GaWC together with Chicago Council on Global Affairs.

I'll take that as a compliment that you think my examples would be significant compared to the many and variedexpert sources mentioned on the above mentioned link. I don't give myself that much credit - their findings are of much greater significance than your opinion and my opinion. Anyway, I don't see much point in continuing this - I think New York is better in some aspects, and Chicago is better in some as well. That's my opinion - it just differs from your opinion. Have a nice day.
Do you realize that for the past few days you've been working non-stop posting long posts about...your OPINON on Chicago...and desperately lashing out as if it's fantastic hard facts through which you're trying to save humanity by opening everyone's eyes to your ultra-brilliant New York mind?
I know you have all these opinions and ideas about Chicago. We all know, we get the picture every 3 minutes when you say the same blunt scathing remarks about anything Chicago.
You need to realize that 99% of the people reading these statements over and over and over again just DON'T CARE. We all live here for a reason. I love Chicago to death. I've been to New York more times than I could count, and I do love New York. Does it have its issues that could be better? Of course. Does Chicago? Of course.
Your statements are so one-sided towards New York, and so one sided against Chicago in every stretch of the imagination that it makes most of what you say moot. It's just your opinion, and that's really all it is....
I'm sorry that I value my opinions and experience in Chicago more than what you're trying to portray...but that's life.
You need to just stop. You're wasting your life here complaining to the point that your mind refuses to let you live a life in Chicago. Just wipe everything clean in your mind. You hate Chicago media? Too bad, just learn to live with it or move, because you know what? No matter what you do none of it is changing.
There's a saying "They don't boo if you're bad." Referring to athletes going to rivals towns and usually the best get booed. They wouldn't keep bringing this up if it didn't bother him
