The 5 cities that make America (populations, California, development, best)

[Rhymes with Best Coast]

If you want to hurt the US the most, the Department of Homeland Security commissioned a study that highlighted which cities were most likely to be attacked by terrorists.

The top 5 were clearly highlighted:

If you had to narrow it down to 5, not that the others aren't important, the results are clear. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

NYC
DC
LA
CHI
SF

That is all.

All I know is that I don't see how New Orleans or Las Vegas could even make this list. If you're going to put these cities then might as well put in Seattle while you're at it.... or even Denver.

Other than that I really don't care what makes the top 5. The top "5" is just an excuse to bolster in your own preferred city but to me the only cities that pretty much influence the rest of the World are Chicago, Los Angeles, DC and NYC...... and those are the only cities that (matter) make America.

not everyone feels the heartland is any more "american" than other parts of the country.
