I wouldn't dare start another "Scranton vs." thread, lest I be banned from this forum and sent into oblivion!
Personally I like talking about the "smaller" cities like Pueblo, Scranton, or Richmond better then NYC or LA or Chicago. I like to learn things about cities I don't know much about and as much as I love Pueblo there is no comparison with Pueblo to NYC and I hope there never is, if I wanted to live in a city like NYC I would move to NYC.
Yeah... Just like the European cities. They have NO skyscrapers.
La Defense is Paris's business district, it's not really where the people live--and it's relatively new. The real city is still the historic, lowrise Paris.

This is also true of most American cities outside of the Northeast too. The downtowns of most southern and western cities are business districts with few residential occupants, and other parts of the cities are the "real" city.

Maybe in Texas but not all over.
For example in Denver you have LoDo and the Capitol Hill area that is very popular for residents to live and even in downtown Pueblo condos are going up all the time near our Riverwalk. The trend in most cities is for people to move back downtown.
