I'm talking population. NYC has 22 million in its metro, LA has 18 million, London has 13 million, Paris has 10 million, Tokyo has 33 million, Mexico D.F. has 25 million, and São Paolo has 20 million.
If you were to measure the size of the Metropolitan area of New York to that of either London or Paris, you'd find both areas are considerably smaller than New York's. I don't know what the exact recalculated population would be if you had the Metro areas equal in size, but I have to assume London's would be closer to 20 million (seeing as though Brighton, Oxford, Portsmouth, Reading, and many other cities and surrounding suburbs would be included into that count).
Tell it to Chicagoans, many of them believe Chicago is just like New York only smaller and cleaner
Chicago is like a smaller pre-giuliani NYC.
Like a NYC with heart.
NYC is still the $hit and has no real comparison in the US, but its no secret that NYC today is thoroughly feminized and disneyfied. Like one gigantic urban themed amusement park for suburban tourists.
Its a place for the rich not the working class that built it.
If you wanna find "real" New Yorkers go to Jersey, Philly, and the working class parts of Conn.
I would argue that London has the financial/wealth importance of New York City; while Paris can match NYC in terms of Cultural importance.
Well, I'm going to have to disagree with you on London. Both LA and Chicago have larger GDP's than London or Paris. São Paolo fared much better than I would have expected them to.

As far as culture goes, that's a very hard thing to judge. Paris and London have forever left their mark on the literary world, but who still reads books in this day and age? I guess London with the BBC can match NYC as the world's news capitals.

"Feminized"? "Disneyfied"? "Urban themed amusement park"? 10M very REAL people live in this amusement park, from the richest to the poorest. Most of them working class, even if it means 300K a year or a few millions a year.
What's up with this communist propaganda?

NYC might be the only major US city to have back to back republican mayors. Nuff said.

"Nuff said"? What was that supposed to mean? Most American cities would die to have mayors of the same caliber as Gulliani and Bloomberg...
As opposed to most cities and despite all criticism, New York prospers and grows. It's better than ever before.
