Chicago's my favorite of those three. NYC is, of course, a spectacular one-off, and LA has some incredible neighborhoods (but a lot of 'meh,' in my opinion). I just really, really, really like Chicago.
Fusing the two cities together would give you a total murder count of nearly 900 while NYC has a total of around 520 (2008 stats). Keep in mind that NYC still has over 1.6 million people than both Chi/LA
If you really knew what an NYC ego was, you wouldn't see any one give Chi/LA any credit the way I did when I sad LA/Chi had the edge when it came to topography... but hey, you look like you know what your talking about
I don't GAF about GPA
Even if NYC has more or less, it's not by too much.
And even after your rant, my vote still goes to NYC simply because I have a personal preference. It has nothing to do with my ego. Am I SUPPOSED to prefer LA/Chi for the sake of not looking like i'm bias or egotistic? It's obvious when somebody is being egotistic, and for you to quote me OUT OF ALL PEOPLE, is not using good logic.
To be Honest, Chicago and San Francisco would of been a better fusion (That's just me) I never liked LA much at all.
You didn't say you had a personal preference for New York you said NYC was the more Powerful city When they would be basically equivalent LOL, so it comes out like your saying it off your ego? You could had said I prefer New York more over LA-CHI but you said “By being a city itself, NYC is a more powerful city.” )
Also I said "Yall killing me with, if LA-CHI was one city NYC would be such the more powerful city. because there basically equivalent, Are yall saying this cause of yall egos?" meaning not just you there's serval East coast posters who are trying exaggerate air.

Just do some reading on New York, importance of its stock market, advertising, publishing and media business. Then you'll talk.
Simple fact that CHI and LA combined would still be less populous than NYC should tell you a lot. Wall Street, Broadway and Madison Avenue would still have no competion in the combined two cities.

I also said LA/Chi has better topography- An opinion.
When I say it's a more powerful city I'm being realistic, America's money heart pumps in NYC (Wall St). You can fuse Chi and LA and imagine what it would be like but what would really be the case? I also feel this thread is a hope that NYC will finally lose something in comparison.
Am I the only one that feels the fuse LA/Chi would be a mess?

Rawww rawww! ) down with NYC yeah that it ) seriously yall are boasting and it's funny. NY vs. LA-Chi instead of posters talking about what they do and don’t like because they’re basically equivalent, east coast posters have a superior complex and trying exaggerate air. Got to love it.
I think NYC's continued position as the sole global leader is somewhat debatable. LA is more or less the future, having connections to the entire Pacific Rim, Australia, and south to Central and South America (although these are shared with Miami, as well). NYC looks east to Europe and the Middle East, primarily. In the coming decades, LA will be the rising star, if that isn't already the case.
Los Angeles was listed as one of the cities in free fall. I think it is a little far fetched to say something like that when your state may be filing for bankruptcy soon.

NYC proper is bigger than Chicago and LA. true
NYC GDP is bigger than that of Chicago and LA combined. : not by much, it's pointless
NYC still has more skyrises than Chicago + LA: true but chicago/LA with LA mountains
NYC still has more art and media companies (besides film) than Chicago + LA combined. :if so not by much
NYC still has more and bigger exchanges than Chicago and LA combined. true
NYC still have more journalism and publishing than Chicago and LA combined. : that going with the media which you already said
NYC has more theaters than Chicago and LA combined. : sure? maybe
NYC has more top restaurants than Chicago and LA combined. :I really don't know
NYC has better mass transit than both cities combined. :that cause of LA
NYC can still claims United Nations while neither Chicago nor LA can claim to host international institution of that caliber. :true
NYC is safer than both cities alone and combined. :true
NYC has more history than both cities combined and can claim being a capital of the United Statest at some point. :ummm ok
NYC has a stronger housing market and stronger job market than both cities combined. :don't know maybe so but ok
umm No LA is already one of the largest economy in the world by it self but plus Chicago…. wow. But just culturally Vince beach one moment Magnificent Mile the next! Rodeo Drive one moment the Chicago river the next. And I notice you didn't bring up the MSAs?
What was the point of posting this again? All you did was say "true" and "um...okay" to everything, not one being false. And add the MSA's, who cares. Los Angeles and Chicago MSA would have a slightly larger population combined than New York City's, and still have a lower everything else than New York City's. What are you trying to say?
