Pretty observant, its obvious that NOLA has many anti-Chicago posts and carries some sort of grudge, I wonder what the deal with that is?
He's a New York transplant from suburban Detroit, known as Crawford on a competing site.
New Yorkers can be very cool, but as many know transplants can be insufferably arrogant and rude. They are the ones that truly give NYC it's rep as rude and overbearing. This particular poster can not be reasoned with, and will argue incessantly to the point of locking threads - no matter the subject. He knows everything about everything, and is never wrong - ever.

Isn't this he you refer to a she? I believe so. Even though he or she should be irreverent on most of C-D. Especially City vs. City threads.
1. New York
2. Chicago
3. Las Vegas
4. Miami
5. San Francisco
6. Honolulu
7. Dallas
8. Houston
9. Los Angeles
10. Boston
11. Atlanta
12. Orlando
13. San Diego
14. Washington D.C
15. Seattle
16. Phoenix
17. Austin
18. San Antonio
19. Portland
I'm a little surprised that Philly is missing from this list. Perhaps it was lumped in with NYC for some odd reason given their close proximity. Also, I was little surprised to see that Houston and Dallas are ranked higher than Los Angeles. I guess this is a case of perception meeting reality.
For the top 5 NYC, Chicago and San Francisco seem obvious given their international companies, large corporate workforce, and huge tourism industries. Las Vegas and Miami make sense as they are high amenity travel and shopping destinations, I know many many Latin Americans that basically travel to Miami just to shop and experience the US without leaving their Spanish language comfort zone. On a side note Panama City, Panama, seems to be a sort of rival to Miami's high end shopping and vacationing.
I don't think cities having 2% or 10% more billionaires in LA or London or Houston is as telling as having a large upper middle class corporate workforce making 100-500k per year. How many luxury hotel rooms and $1000 dinners will a billionaire require compared to millions of corporate workers with expense accounts?
That. Or they don't include Beverly Hills as it's a separate city?
Beverly Hills is included. Such a strange list. Los Angeles is easily #2 in terms of international retail presence, it's the #2 fashion center in the US, and it scores high in sales per capita. #9 overall ?

JMatl is a funny guy. I'm not a New Yorker, not from suburban Detroit, not named Crawford, and not on a competing site.
So you're batting your usual .000. Impressively pathetic! You have an amazing grasp of absolutely nothing!
