I mean lets just change the title from City vs City to NYC vs City....
I know I'm going to be bashed but I don't care...someone needs to say something...
City vs City has become so defacto and generic...You can't get an honest opinion anymore...
If the title of the Thread start with or has the word "BEST" anywhere in the subject you can take it to the bank that the above 6 cities will be mention regardless of topic...Regardless if it's even true or not....
I live in NYC - love NYC - been here for 13 years....but I'm not going to deny that this is not the Best of everything when it comes to some of the topics here....Not even a top 5 city...But i guess because NYC is the USA largest city, the most Glitz and Glam'd, and is the most prevalant in the Media its wins on every topic by defualt....Here's a secert for those that dont know..visiting NYC and Living NYC are two totally different animals almost 2 totally different cities one would say (excluding if you are of the wealthy class or making mid-to high 6 figure salaries)....
Even right here on City vs City shows just how underrated cities like
Philly
Seattle
Portland
Pittsburgh
Baltimore
Buffalo
San Deigo
Houston
Dallas
really are....we prove this here everyday, you dont need to visit these cities to show that.
Think about what your top 5 cities represent. They are large and in charge-economically, socially, poltically. They dominate news and other media. They time and time again show their importance. They also happen to be the largest metro areas, far exceeding the cities below.
The other cities just aren't that "important" - a term I'll use loosely.
And let me just say that Houston and Philly receive plenty of discussion on this site...along with Atlanta, which got no mention anywhere. These, along with a couple of others not mentioned in your "five" cities, are certainly not feeling left out.

End of RANT.
Well it makes sense; if you make thread talking about "Waco vs. Macon" or "Bakersfield vs. Syracuse" there won't be much discussion.
I totally agree. Look at how many threads concern the South and the Sunbelt on any given day.
Most of the time, the number of discussions about a particular city depend on how many members that city has on city-data. The cities with the largest number of members usually get the most attention.
That being said, many people from all over love to focus on the sunbelt - presumably because it has been a very popular relocation area for a couple of decades...and because some think the cities there aren't worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as other U.C. cities.

um, you forgot Houston and Dallas. I'm just as tired of seeing Houston vs. ______ threads, or Texas city vs. Texas city.
