I'm normally a very easy going and happy go lucky guy, but your constant Anti-NYC posts are going over the top lately. This is the third one straight by you with the same "New Yorkers are blinded by their city" mantra.
Not to sound superior but you live in SJ, San Jose I presume? You don't even live in the most relevant San Jose in the world. That honor goes to San Jose, Costa Rica. So you have no room to talk

That's the new yorker's delusion, that everyone is jealous of people living in NYC. No. There are so many millions who don't live in NYC because they don't want to.

And San Josians have the delusion that they run the SF Bay, when in reality they're just the poor mans SF. Suburban immigrant refuge, those who cant afford to live the lavish lives of SF, NYC, CHI, DC end up in reject towns like SJ, LA, PHX
As far as I know, people are jealous of what they cant have. And guess what America, there can only be one NYC, it is the end all and be all. A city that's running 10% of the country's economy by GDP with less then 7% of the country's population. Not to mention your little tech companies in SJ suck it up to NYC when it comes to going global market trade with Wall Street.
SJ comes to NYC for that recognition that the world gives SJ, without NYC, your nothing. Keep playing that "but we have Google" card, see if your company is worth a penny if you didn't have stock holders. All thanks to NYC, you can thank us later.

Sure they can. This thread has given you a multitude of cities that compare with NYC in some way or another. You don't seem to have noticed, though, because you're too busy bickering with everyone and trying to convince them that NYC deserves their awe.

Name one city that has a downtown comparable to NYC's? Name one city where more billionaires reside, where more celebrities party, where fashion is taken to the next level (except Milan and Paris), where even the A-List celebrities have a hard time getting dinner reservations to the most elite collection of restaurants in the world.
SJ? It doesn't come close, it cant even look SF in the eye without feeling shame.

That's the tragedy of living in NYC is that it makes a person so blindly proud that all they do is argue that NYC is better than all other places in all other respects.
It's sad, really.

New Yorkers know the impact their city has to the world, which more than someone in say SJ can say about their city that lives in the shadows to a neighbor North by 55 miles.
Your entire state of CA is sippin' on NYC envy juice. I've spent time in CA more than should be legal in LA and all people there want to do is compare their city to NYC. Always asking "how do people in NYC dress, what do they eat??" Its a true story, LA is so obsessed with NYC that Hollywood has shot more films in NYC than even LA, the city where Hollywood is allegedly headquartered.
Hop of NYC's nuts and get your own damn identity that doesn't revolve around being "NYC and LA" like they make the dynamic duo. LA never has been nor ever will be on NYC's level. It takes LA the size of South Carolina to try to match NYC in population and it still comes 4.5 million short.
NYC doesn't care about you or what anyone else thinks of it, matter of truth is that your whole state spent its existence trying to level up to NYC to gain respect. With almost 40 million people all you have to offer is a $1.8 Trillion economy, NYC with 22 million (about half of CA) can match CA almost at $1.4 Trillion. Take your garbage elsewhere.
I try to be as humble as possible, but some of you overkill your point to paint us like we're soulless clowns. Get real...
