I honestly think that the most talked about cities in this thread is New York City and Chicago. These two cities are compared with other cities all the time. Then comes San Francisco, Boston, Houston, Atlanta and Miami.

Yep, there's a Charlotte v Atlanta thread on the Atlanta forum right now, and usually is in some form or fashion. A great many people seem to consider them as alternatives for relocation (I'd recommend either, frankly).

Altogether true, except I'd put Charlotte and any other Sunbelt city in the neutral column at best. None of them escape unscathed.

I think most lists make sense.

The cities that tend to be talked about the most are either the largest cities in the country or the ones that are changing and growing the most (or both).

NYC
LA
Chicago
Atlanta
Miami
San Fran
Dallas
Houston
DC

(in no particular order, just randomly pulled from my head)

Searching through "city vs city" by threads Cincinnati seemed to dominate, which makes me think that method is flawed.

My general sense would be California, Florida, and Texas cities plus NYC dominate. In particular Dallas, Houston, Miami, NYC, Orlando, and San Francisco.

I think the most discussed are:

Chicago (by far, if for no other reason that there's a particular troll obsessed with the city)

New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta, Bay Area

See I don't see Chicago as particularly discussed considering its size. At least not in the 7 months I've been here, maybe it was before then.
