I know there have been threads already like this but I tried to do my own. If you agree or disagree let me know. Should any cities be changed?? Here's the list:
Tier 1: New York
Tier 2: Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington D.C.
Tier 3: San Francisco, Atlanta, Miami, Dallas, Houston, Philadelphia, Boston
Tier 4: Seattle, Denver, Minneapolis, San Diego, Detroit
Tier 4a: St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Baltimore
Tier 5: Portland, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Orlando, Cincinnati, Charlotte, Phoenix, Tampa
Tier 6: Austin, San Antonio, Nashville, Memphis, New Orleans, Saramento, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Columbus, Salt Lake City
I think this list is pretty accurate or maybe I'm just biased from my own opinion, haha. Sorry if I forgot any cities and feel free to change my list.
I'd probably drop DC to this level with Philly, and then so forth.
Would probably agree unless you consider Baltimore in the equation in which case an argument could made for 2b maybe with the DMV and Bay Area - but overall a decent list/categories

What would your list look like?
I'd probably bump Philly, Boston and San Fran up to tier two.
Also, I'd wipe out 4a altogether and move everyone up to 4 with the exception of Cleveland, who gets bumped down to 5.

Eh. I think Philly is in it's correct tier in his list IMO. I don't really see it at the same level economically nor socially as San Francisco and maybe Boston. Would love to hear the argument though on how it should be lumped in with Boston and SF.

On second thought, I'd probably put Chicago and LA in their own tier behind NYC, and have DC, SF, Boston and Philly occupy the tier beneath them.
I'll defer to Rainrock to provide the statistical evidence for Philly's placement. I think that's a reasonable place for it.
