What tiers or subcategories do you think US cities could be placed in?
For me, this is how I would categorize US cities:
Tier 1 (World Class Cities):
Boston
Chicago
Los Angeles
New York
San Francisco
Washington
Tier 2 (Global Powers):
Atlanta
Dallas
Detroit
Houston
Miami
Minneapolis
Philadelphia
Seattle
Tier 3 (National Powers):
Charlotte
Cincinnati
Cleveland
Denver
Orlando
Phoenix
Pittsburgh
St. Louis
San Diego
Tampa
Tier 4 (Regional Powerhouses):
Austin
Columbus
Honolulu
Indianapolis
Kansas City
Las Vegas
Milwaukee
Nashville
New Orleans
Portland
Raleigh
Sacramento
San Antonio
Salt Lake City
Virginia Beach
Boston s/b in tier 2, Miami - tier 3...would add Louisville, Jacksonville, OK City, San Jose, Oakland & Birmingham into Tier 4, not sure Va. Beach should be on the list at all, probably s/b Richmond instead. Baltimore added to Tier 3, would move Indianapolis up to tier 3
