I think we've been building up to this thread lately. So, which give me your list as to which cities have the most urban central business district. Virtually anything can be incorporated into urbanity including (but not limited to the following): structural density, skyscrapers, commuters, residents, subway/trains, liveliness, street layout, things to do, etc., etc.
Now for the poll, vote for the cities that you believe have a truly urban downtown.
P.S. On this thread we will count Manhattan as one central business district.
I just voted on my perceptions from pictures and/or visiting the place...I didn't vote for places that I am not familiar enough with to give an opinion.
This is why these polls are meaningless: how is it that 40% of the people who voted did not vote for New York City? Perhaps the same 40% who voted for San Diego?
This is true. I dont see how anyone could NOT say NYC is the most urban. Its not even close. 2nd place I think is close, though, between SF, Chicago, Philly and Boston.
San Diego belongs nowhere in this discussion.

Never been to SF so I wouldn't know. The most I know about SF is from watching Full House as a kid and it didn't seem very urban to me.
