People on this site are just obsessed with street level vibrancy, public transportation, etc, no matter what the thread is about.
Well I agree some are only partially related especially to this thread; but vibrancy is probably the most important criteria IMO as to where I would want to spend the most time; from that perspective to me hands down SF, Bos, and Philly after NYC and Chicago; then maybe Seattle and DC after that it gets pretty sparce
IMO if the core isn't where people, live, work, play, shop, eat - then all we have is a denser version of the burbs with faster elevators. But from 10 miles away they really do look shiney

awesome post, i fully agree. I wouldn't want to live anywhere that isn't like the above description...
Portland as much as Dallas? Seattle more than L.A. and Houston?
Some good info, but in this situation a lot can happen in four years. It would be good to get some 2010 info.
Yeah, a little change in sizes can really alter those numbers. For Chicago, it seems they're using the area of the greater downtown, but if you just look at the concentration of office buildings/employees in the Loop, in 2010 it's around 500,000 people in one square mile. The other 2 square miles are very much residential, hotels, retail, and some office.

But that could be the case for all of these cities...the thought of Chicago's CBD being twice as New York's is a bit preposterous.
