He's just rehashing the same stats he uses in EVERY thread that pertains to SF. Doesn't matter if they're relevant to the topic at hand, or even outright trumped (looking at you, NYC vs SF thread), he'll fall back on his bread and butters, ignore/dismiss valid counterarguments (digging that private jet set map posted), and rile up the opposition with puerile, asinine comments/hashtags. Rinse and repeat. How this still gets to people is beyond me. Just keep posting SFs poop map, throw in a stupid hash tag somewhere, and talk up LAs brand ranking if you want to play his game

Anyway, the correct answer is DC, before this thread devolved into a California pissing match. Nothing posted has dissuaded my opinion on this, and I don't view this poll as accurate in the slightest. If MDAllstar or another DC poster was as vigilant as Monty, I'm sure endless stats about embassies and the like would begin to persuade people to reality.

LA is different in that many wealthy people have second homes there that won't be counted in these stats. Still, quite impressive for San Francisco.

What wrecking ball? You think your jabs do something?
Get over yourself

You're just annoying . Thats it. I just respond to your dumb crap.

I honestly can't believe how much someone's ego is tied up into a city's accomplishments they had nothing to do with.

SFs beneath LAs culture. LA is supremely better than SF for museums, architecture, symphony orchestras, theaters, performing artists, musicians, actors, etc.

Every major theater has a location in LA
8 Great Comedy Schools from Around the Nation :: Comedy :: Lists :: Paste

8. Los Angeles Philharmonic
The Los Angeles Philharmonic was founded in 1919. Their "forward-thinking" interpretations and their ability to remold and remodel their performances at the whim of the conductor, gives this orchestra a unique advantage.

World's Best Symphony Orchestras (Top 20 List)

40 Most Famous Architects of the 21st Century - Archute

LA hosts the Oscars, Grammys, Emmys, and the MTV music awards. LA is where status flocks not SF.

Los Angeles?

It may be internationally famous, but as a local resident for 32 years, I consider it highly over rated. Why?

Crowds. Traffic. Superficiality. Low-brow culture. Lethargic public transportation, etc.

IMO, Frisco is far superior.

I like Sacramento and Long Beach moreso than the traditional big hitters.
