And apparently you're one of those "condescending, everybody is inferior to NYC so I'm compelled to put them down so I can feel superior and wouldn't dare giving a compliment to another city for fear it may have a slight chance at being at the expense of NYC" people. Got it.
Oh, you're one of those "everybody is a winner" people. Got it.
Last I checked whenever "vs." is in the subject line, it becomes a contest of merit.
Chicago is okay, but it's still very vanilla in comparison IMO. I simply can't ever imagine NYC having to "create a culture destination" the way many Chicago places have been. (*cough*Navy Pier*cough*)
But as far as burbs go, Chicago is the first vibrant example of sprawl in the United States. It's mind numbing. I long for a winding road or some kind of roadway outside of a grid whenever I'm there. Even some form of elevation change would make me jump for joy!
Then you have that whole weather thing. NYC is cold enough, I could never live in a Chicago climate. You not only have Arctic Winters, the Summer is stiffling as well.
I like Chicago over many U.S. cities, but when you put it up against the big dog...nope, sorry can't compete.
Well have fun looking at life like it's a competition
LOL at the "stiffling summers" comment. New York's summers are just as bad as Chicago's. If you can handle a summer in New York, Chicago's a piece of cake.
There are far too many insults and replies directed at the member rather than the post in this thread. Here's what the TOS says about that sort of thing:
Quote:
Be civil, no personal attacks, flaming, or insults. We may attack ideas (politely) but we do not attack the speaker of the idea. Be careful with your words, there is a point where being direct crosses a line into blunt, in-your-face hostility. Please, report bad posts instead of engaging in flame wars on the boards.

Over 200 posts were deleted and even after that, there isn't enough substance left for the discussion to be considered a useful contribution to the City-Data community. Thread closed.
Do not start another thread on this topic in City vs. City before April 2009.
