What are these major world cities New York, London, Tokyo, Chicago, Hong Kong, Paris, Singapore..etc have one thing in common? Simply put....a dominant global financial center. Without one, LA is just another average world city on a global scale.

And as far as global media, Singapore, Chicago et al take a very distant back seat to Los Angeles.

I would say Chicago is average. It has nothing special, but a enormous downtown (which is quite nice) and that's about it. L.A. has culture and the global cinema.

Sorry, you're late to convo, but this is all covered. Feel free to go through the rest of the thread if you want to contribute something new.
LA now, in the future will be Houston. Sorry SF metro, you'll be left in the dust. Boston can't grow much more, so even with its plusses, no hope. Chicago will never turn Lake Michigan into an ocean. DC - will put up a good fight but ultimately will succumb.
