Find the thread and link it right here if it has been done before and when I say find the thread, I do very well mean a direct comparison thread that asks which city is most like New York with only Chicago, Toronto, and San Francisco as options.
You know what I'm talking about....you alluded to it.
I think the idea that the two cities are substantially different was mentioned on the first page of the thread...?
No, that is incorrect.
The cities aren't that dramatically different. Different, yes, because they're in different regions of the country therefore derive influence from different origins but not too dramatically different in the grand scheme of things. The advantages that one could point to Chicago are largely the same ones that apply to New York, with the sole exception being that one of the cities is much smaller so that in its way paves the direction for Chicago having a more manageable and easier to deal with feel than a New York.
Beyond that, go ahead and list the Top 10 things you like most about Chicago. 90% of it will match up with things New York has going for it as well.
The actual difference between the two is size, scale, and scope. I guess price points as well. One of the cities is much larger and therefore encompasses the same three things to a further degree.
I never rode a elevated train that traveled through a downtown area near the office buildings. So that would be a new experience for me because I am used to either being underground or when outside just riding through neighborhoods.
Technically, you can do that in NYC as well, just not in Manhattan, but in Queens. The 7 train is elevated in LIC and it passes through skyscrapers of LIC.
