And secondly, it appears that you selected "downtown LA" simply because it has tall buildings, and NYC has tall buildings. But the two don't really look like each other--I doubt anyone would be confused by comparing images of them. So, I can only surmise that there must be some other aspects of downtown LA that reminds you of NYC. So...what are they?
I don't care what you do or don't find persuasive about what I said. I've said what I had to say.

LA still owns.

Its hard to be persuasive when all you say is "LA owns". Nothing you have said has indicated that LA is more cosmopolitan than NYC.

That's unfortunate, as I (and, I'm certain, others) was quite interested in learning about the aesthetic similarities between LA and NYC. It's a pity that you're either unable or unwilling to support your own claims.

This seems a spurious assertion to make, considering your rather limp-wristed defense of your arguments in this thread.

It's not as if he hasn't been presented with plenty of opportunities to support that claim.

I am beginning to think that the claim is baseless.

Yeah I second that. Everybody is providing references or proof that NYC is more cosmopolitan than LA, but he is not providing anything.

I didn’t vote in the poll because I think it begins with a false premise. Namely, that LA is the most cosmopolitan city in the United States. It would seem to me that given the standard definition of cosmopolitan, New York is the only real choice for number one. Given New York’s ethnic diversity, integration of those ethnic groups, and its role as the preeminent global city, it’s hard to compare it to any city in the world other than London. LA is certainly a very cosmopolitan city, perhaps (or not) on a par with Toronto and Montreal among North American cities.
