You were adamant that SF and Atlanta were in the same tier earlier but now your saying the resident's list is a good one even though SF is a tier above Atlanta.
So are you saying that you agree that SF is a tier above Atlanta?

ADAMANT - refusing to be persuaded or to change one's mind.
Below was response when folks disagreed with your statement that SF and Atlanta were in the same tier. It's all good though, it seems as though, you now agree that SF is a tier above Atlanta.

Ebck120,
Everyone knows that SF and ATL are in roughly similar tiers.

You just said the below list was a very good one which has them in different tiers with SF in the higher one. lol lol lol You really can't make this stuff up. Atlanta forumers are the most entertaining, I'll give you that.

The top 5 regardless of order in importance to this nation are unequivocally:
New York, Los Angeles, Washington DC, San Francisco, and Chicago
The next 5 regardless of order I believe is pretty clear as well without much dispute:
Boston, Houston, Dallas, Philadelphia, Atlanta
Afterwards you get to Seattle and Miami etc. then the list goes on.

This list completely ignores trends from the past decade that will persist into the next decade. Chicago (both the city and the metro area) is losing population annually, its property taxes are some of the highest in the country and its debt burden continues to balloon. Meanwhile Seattle's population grew 18% last decade and is still the fastest growing city in the US in 2019. In the same decade, the Philadelphia metro area grew only 2%.
There's nothing clear cut and dry about your list. The whole point of this thread was about trends for the coming decade.

Seattle's not on Philadelphia's level, yet. After 2030 we'll see but this decade Philly's safe. Philly's metro is millions of people larger and overall location is greater than Seattle. I'll leave it to the Philly posters to break down the difference of where both places are, and where they are headed.

I'm unsure why people equate population growth with importance. Phoenix has had decades of significant population growth and will soon be the 10th largest metro. Yet, there is no way I would include it on a list of top 20 most important cities. It has comparable or arguably less national relevance than metros half its size (San Jose, Austin, Portland, Las Vegas, etc.)
NYC, LA, Chicago, and SF may very well get to a point of no population growth. But that doesn't make Orlando more important than them.
