Yeah, I think they all have good arguments. It’ll be interesting to see what folks say if anyone ends up taking the bait.
This forum, in general, does not like Denver.

I don't think it's a matter of this forum "not liking" Denver, but rather just that for the vast majority of Americans, Denver is an afterthought -- barely exists in the minds of most. It's a major city for sure, but really doesn't belong in a Top 6-10 cities discussion, IMO.

It's tough between Atlanta and Boston. I can see a fair argument for both. I am going with Atlanta because it's the de facto capital of an entire region.

Agreed- It is flyover country for sure. Not much of an impact outside of Middle America and certainly should not be considered an "elite" city at all.

Houston because of the energy sector.

Assuming NYC, LA, Chicago, DC, and SF are the country’s top 5 cities at the moment (based on cultural, political, and economical importance/contribution, etc.), than which city is #6?
Hmmm based on cultural, political and economical importance and contributions?

I'm stuck somewhere in between Atlanta, Boston and Houston. I feel Houston will lose it's importance and probably already has due to the oil and gas crises going on right now. When all the smoke clears Houston might not remain the economic powerhouse that it has been for many decades now.

So that leaves me with Atlanta and Boston and i'm having a hard time deciding out those 2.
