World class this, world class that. World class cars, world class cities, world class drain cleaner. I'm so sick of this world class nonsense I want to puke. How can people talk like that and not feel like popinjays?
Exactly my point and what I suspected as an answer. IMO world class Cities should have more than one park and museum at world class status. They should have MULTIPLE! NY has 3-5 parks and 3-5 museums that are world class...... And in homesty Way more if i sat down and counted.
GGP and those museums you listed are nice though. After all GGP was
Copied and modeled after Central Park.
Could have listed more like the Presidio, Golden Gate NATIONAL Recreation area that includes the WORLD FAMOUS Alcatraz. That adds up to three world famous parks. It's obvious your an east coast booster and I have better things to do than argue with a California hater.
Your opinion doesn't matter much in the slightest bit especially after being called a homer by a neutral poster.
Most people around the world seem to think differently than you. I'd suggest you explore other cities in the USA and take off your New York blinders. The comments you've made confirms you haven't been to San Francisco and you can't be taken serious on your opinions. For you to say there are no world famous parks or museums, but mentioned you have visited San Francisco? Either your a bald faced liar that gets your kicks on the internet ripping on other cities or you had a blind tour guide. I suspect the former.
I'm done with you.

Ridiculous. You are joking, right?
If SF belongs at the big table, so does Chicago. And Chicago would be seated above it. But you must know this. SF is nice. Its core is dense. But it's a middleweight.
Tangentially, Sydney does not belong in the same breath as Tokyo, or even SF. If you're looking for a South Pac heavy-hitter, try Singapore.
Actually I need to take out DC because of the dining scene there.
LA lacks in the heavy rail department so in my opinion it isnt truely world class. IMO the urban core has to be world class in order for the city to be world class which is another reason it isnt world class. Only Chicago and Nyc can truely be world class
In what world is SF more world class than Chicago?
