I hate when these organizations can't bother to include more updated photos.

What is painful about new york city is that it could literally blow every city out of this surface in America but the city does it to itself. I would have love to see how cities like NYC, Chicago and Boston would have looked like or function if they were located in Asia and Europe with the same build they have now.

Kudos to them for not being afraid to speak their minds and go against conventional wisdom.

That tag line about NYC being "back" at the end of the write up...man, where do they come up with this stuff?

In all seriousness though, they do deserve credit for being a such a large city and still adding population.
What's wrong with the nyc being back title?

It is. Have you been here lately or just another person that watches certain media post?

Kinda surprising St. Louis was ranked higher than Nashville.

I'm not exactly sure what is meant by "blow every city out of this surface in America" means, but I"m guessing if it, Chicago, and Boston were located in Asia they wouldn't receive nearly as much attention as they do here in a global context.

I'm not even doubting that its "back", the problem I have is with the cringe of the meme/catch phrase "this city is back" that you can just tell people were waiting to say before it was even true yet.

Its a very straight forward post about NYC. Not sure why Boston and Chicago are being included. I guess you can make a separate post about things they can do better. I dont live in neither sooo.........

As far as your issue with "back"...not sure it seems you are having severe stress issues about it. Wouldn't take it too seriously.

Boston and Chicago were included because you mentioned them in the post I responded to.

I'm not. I live in St. Louis and am very familiar with Nashville. At the same time, this is just one of those rankings and shouldn't influence your opinion on your own personal ranking of your favorite cities. At first glance I disagreed with it but considering the context, its a good list but not one I would use to form opinion about relocation or vacation
