And this isn't about which one has more crime. This is comparing the actual cities... rofl at how the crime overshadows both of these cities even in a thread that's about looking at the rest of the cities' qualities.

Anyway, can we start using the actual criteria? Seriously...


  • Food
  • Culture and Cultural Relevance
  • Diversity (not just racial; this includes religious diversity, political diversity, socio economic diversity, etc.)
  • Architecture
  • Social issues in relation to the cities (for example: racism or the lack of it. Obviously not limited to racism)
  • Location
  • Government
  • Safety
  • Public Transportation
  • Infrastructure
  • Contributions to the arts (music, painting, film, theatre, etc.)
  • Natural Beauty
  • How they compare economically
  • Affordability
  • Skyline
  • Education
