It's funny that they're still trying to argue, this is a new low on city data trying to lower Atlanta then in logistics, talking about not giving credit where it due smh "logistics is more than moving goods, Logistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia " If they read the link you posted they understand what their saying is bull, it literally said Atlanta is the top logistics city in the south, top 5 in north America.

But again the original argument was Atlanta vs Miami in logistics for the southeast. This has turn into pick up any city and try to knock Atlanta in logistics. Philly and Houston posters were saying Philly and Houston is up to pare with Atlanta logistics which is straight up false. And when that didn't work out they brought up Memphis, so Memphis help Houston and Philly in logistics? I guess the plans is since Philly and Houston can't beat Atlanta in distribution, bring up Memphis which does in some areas. But when you include management, companies, logistics jobs, revenue produce they will understand that flaw. It's at this point they're trying too hard and being irrational.

Childal you again are missing the point, these warehouse sq footage are just one aspect. Are you suggesting that Houston (port alone) is not a major logistics hub? Or Philly for that matter.

You cite one area and disregard all else. I agree ATL is but so are Houston and Philly. Redistributing shipping/port goods IS logistics, WTF

Sad considering Buffalo has the benefit of being next to an international border...

Why would it surprise you that Chicago is ranked above LA for world city rankings? Chicago is quite simply better connected to world financial markets and has more professional services than LA, transportation, by quite a distance-- which is a key factor in GAWC rankings. Frankly, I think Chicago's lead on LA on global connectedness and professional services (law and accounting firms, risk management, markets, etc.) is probably actually wider than that illustrated in the GAWC rankings.
