I was just pointing out that we are evaluating these cities in a TRIO. And Vancouver is 46% Asian, with several different ethnicities represented. Again, to say it isn't diverse isn't accurate. It doesn't have much black or Latino diversity, which is true....so it's likely at the least diverse of the bunch. But we are evaluating these as a TRIO and it brings Asian diversity to the TRIO group. That is the only point I was making. If the city were to be evaluated by itself, given it's low black/latino numbers, it would likely be last in the rankings of these cities bruh
Yea add that to Seattle 7% black (maybe 8% Latino) and LA 8% Black the region as a whole is weak on blackness. Aside from LA- its just not diverse very diverse by most American people standards. 46% Asian (in Canada) is nice but I don't think it's not gonna 'land' for most Americans the same as 46% Black or Latino or black and Latino-just being honest. If you match these cities up LA-NYC, Seattle-Boston, Montreal-Vancouver I think the East Coast is more diverse in at least 2 of these pairings.
The ethnic diversity amongst all 4 races (latino as a 'race') in NYC and Boston might be unmatched in all of North America.
Los Angeles, Seattle and Vancouver are much farther apart than Boston, Montreal and New York. Even accounting for the vastness of the American states and Canadian provinces situated on the Pacific Coast, this comparison seems odd. In my opinion, a more sufficient matchup is: Boston + Montreal + New York vs. Portland + Seattle + Vancouver. And for good fun, you can toss in Bellingham, WA vs. Burlington, VT, which are quite similar to each other.

agreed about the west coast, but it'd have to be DC Bmore Philly and Annapolis.
NYC is an outlier amongst Boston Montreal Seattle Portland and Vancouver.
True, but YVR only has about 25 million passengers/year. About the size of San Diego. SEA does over 50 million.
A big part of that is US discount carriers. YVR has big gate fees. The discount carriers are at SEA and Vancouver people drive/bus/van down if they want cheap flights to US destinations. YVR is a much bigger Asia gateway than SEA. With 20%+ Chinese, 10%+ Indian, and 5%+ Filipino, there's a lot more trans Pacific O & D traffic than SEA.
Fair point! Though to your point that YVR has 45 international destinations, 30 of them are to the US. SEA has 20 international destinations that are not Canada/US, YVR has 15.
The number of international destinations, YVR has is 42 NOT counting the US. If you add the 29 US destinations, 71 international destinations. These destinations include both foreign and local airlines.
If you click on the PDF file, you will see the list.

Correcting stats, and linking reliable sources posted on CD is expected, especially when false information has been posted.
Air connectivity is important to some when rating a city. To have one poster say YVR is a regional airport....under Seattle, and another state we have only 15 international destinations when it's several times that, is not going to fly
You are also leaving out Toronto and Philadelphia for the North East.
That makes for the clear winner.
NYC. PHL. BOS. TON. MON.
V.
LA. SF. SEA. VAN
Yay the Northeast has more people and larger cities because it was settled first. Great. China has more people and megacities too. And including Toronto into the Northeast is really stretching it.
