I went with my instinctual feelings. But I think these were all tough choices and I could totally see picking NYC over Miami (even though I didn't)

Ummm............................ I'm calling BS.

I love NY too, but BEAUTIFUL? I have a hard time seeing "beauty" in NYC. I'm thinking people just want to vote Miami out (not surprised being this is C-D). I can't say they aren't voting objectively, because the vote is supposed to be based solely on opinion, not fact... BUT, I just really find it hard to believe that more people honestly believe & have the opinion that New York City is not only dominant in most other areas, but ALSO more "BEAUTIFUL" than a tropical city like MIAMI... Anyone agree?

I'm surprised Miami got as many votes has right now against NYC. NYC's urban beauty is unparalleled. I can easily see how someone might think NYC's urban beauty, trumps Miami's natural beauty. I voted for NYC myself. Judging by how close the votes are, I'd say Miami's doing fine for it's self.

In that way, NYC is MUCH more beautiful than Miami.

However, South Florida IS a lot more beautiful than the NJ-NY-CT area. So I voted for Miami/Ft.Lauderdale.

Hmm... So beauty in the brownstones. Interesting... Maybe I needed to have more appreciation for NYC. When I stayed in Brooklyn, I def could not see this beauty. I was busy looking at all the reasons I was so ready to get the #$&@ out of BK. Good insight.

Urban beauty... I see... I just honestly was very surprised to see so many early on choose urban beauty over the beach city. I'm not mad at all, cause I'm a Miami hater (kind of comes with the territory being pro Atlanta).
Just was jaw dropped baffled. This is turning into a pretty good eye opening experience for me to find out what kinds of things some people appreciate

Loving what I'm learning about majority preferences from this tournament...

No seriously. Stop "calling BS" because some people don't vote for a certain city. Why can't you just let people vote without all the side commentary?

If u don't like the commentary, don't read it.... Or just don't participate in the thread at all...

The thread was made for more people than just u

The "calling BS" is light hearted. It isn't that serious... I'm not hoping Miami wins either

Living there, because there's no way Denver will have a chance against Chicago and Philly for the other Category if it wins
