ThroatGuzzler, San Jose and Montreal have similar population and similar downtowns. Waterloo, are you for real? Visit San Jose before going off. I've been to both cities many times.
Ohio248, what downtown in Manhattan? It doesn't have a downtown.
So now NYC doesn't even have a city center! Where did it go? Did Manhattan just float off into space?
All those famous places like Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Central Park, Empire State, Grand Central, UN, WTC, etc. etc. are simply figments of my imagination!
Is this some satire or opposite-world?
San Jose and similar postwar Sunbelt suburbs have huge, vital cores, but NYC/Paris/London/Tokyo have no core. Got it!
Ohio248, how come you're the fiercest defender of New York City since you're Ohio248, not Manhattan248? Shouldn't you be defending Ohio cities, not NY? After all, it may just be like Max's Kansas city Bar back in 1970's to early 80's, that had nothing to do with Kansas City. Don't you have anything to do with Ohio, or you just a wierd New Yorker who wants to call him or herself Ohio248 just like Max's Kansas City?

Lower Manhattan is Detroit downtown of 21st century that has TriBeca and SoHo as ok neighborhoods with some stores and restaurants just like Greektown in Dt. Detroit in the 80's-just an isolated pockets of activities in an otherwise drappy place.
I never said Dt. San Jose is the best downtown in the world. Can you find it on my prior post? It has a nice downtown with everything packed together, nightclubs, office, housing, entertainment, university, stores and restaurants. Alot of cities downtowns segregate these uses, not San Jose.
Ohio248, you thereby failed to prove that San Jose doesn't have a downtown that is decent, so I, unfortunatey, not going to adapt Manhattan's semi vertical LA style development. I'm so anti-LA which is a hole in a donut. New York is semi vertical version of LA. I'm a downtown person, and there is no downtown in New York unless you want to call 9/11 site as your downtown with very few active, noteworthy neighborhoods. I ran away from LA. New York is LA on the east coast.
Come one now people...
"Manhattan is just a semi-vertical L.A."
Making fun of Ground Zero as if it is something trivial.
San Jose supposedly has a "real" downtown unlike NYC or LA
Clearly, this is some sort of sick satire devised by some deranged person...
