Thats the type of bias I was talking about, better this and better that... its not about which one is better there is no right answer its about which one you prefer.
Well I gave my 2 cents lol. I said I prefer to live in NYC because it has better of everything.. better public transportation, better restaurants, etc..

Yes, clearly.

Really? What city do you consider more European?

I'd see it as
1. NYC
2. San Juan
3. Philly
4. San Fran
5. Boston
6. Miami and Honolulu tied

Maybe we should make a thread on what US (continental and none continental) that are the most European like.

You also see Portland as the #2 public transportation city behind NYC. So I'd rather not get into it with you, been there done that.

Hi Grapico, a forum is a place for discussion, nobody is arguing so what are you afraid of? A discussion? Then why are you in my thread at all? Or more importantly why are you even on the forum if you can't handle other people's opinions in a discussion?

San Juan does NOT look European. Nothing there looked European at all. If anything the architecture looks more Mexican than anything. I do not think most people on this thread have actually been to San Juan AND Europe to compare the two.

Perhaps once you've explored Spain & Portugal, you'll see the resemblance to Old San Juan. And it hardly looks "Mexican," whatever that means.
