NYC exceeds any European city in every aspect? like safety, beauty, public transportation, economy, more things to do, architecture, etc... I'm curious
I would say, overall, yes.
European cities, on average, are much better than American cities, but NYC is probably the greatest city on earth, and certainly tops London or Paris.
There may be a better city overall than NYC, but I haven't yet seen it.

It's all subjective. One city is not "better" than another. I love the city I live in and wouldn't move to new york, London or Paris over it, and yet it doesn't even compare to those places in terms of public transport, green spaces, culture etc.

No, not in every aspect but as a whole NYC is superior. Imagine if this was a thread about European cities and an American made the comment that Paris is the same as any US city you happen to be in - St Louis, Minneapolis, Phoenix, etc. Silly right?
I´ve never been in USA, but i like Seattle a lot From your poll, probably Portalnd, it seems similar to Seattle. Btw, interresting topic, maybe you should add more cities to the poll
Yeah, St. Louis looks exactly like that. East St. Louis, which is in a different state: Illinois, is even more energetic, vibrant, and diverse than St. Louis.

And I have to agree with you. No such place with so much energy is likely to be found in Netherlands.
I even found this nice write up as an excerpt from a book, on the net
Quote:
East of anywhere," writes a reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, "often evokes the other side of the tracks. But, for a first-time visitor suddenly deposited on its eerily empty streets, East St. Louis might suggest another world." The city, which is 98 percent black, has no obstetric services, no regular trash collection, and few jobs. Nearly a third of its families live on less than $7,500 a year; 75 percent of its population lives on welfare of some form. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development describes it as "the most distressed small city in America."
Only three of the 13 buildings on Missouri Avenue, one of the city's major thoroughfares, are occupied. A 13-story office building, tallest in the city, has been boarded up. Out side, on the sidewalk, a pile of garbage fills a ten-foot crater.
The city, which by night and day is clouded by the fumes that pour from vents and smokestacks at the Pfizer and Monsanto chemical plants, has one of the highest rates of child asthma in America.
It is, according to a teacher at the University of Southern Illinois, "a repository for a nonwhite population that is now regarded as expendable." The Post-Dispatch describes it as "America's Soweto."
Lolz. This was interesting! I, as an american, would not live in any of these cities. Way overpriced. Is Europe really as expensive as these cities??? I would hope not...
The only ones that would be cool would be portland for landscape and NYC for crazy amount of urbanism, and Chicago, for being relatively normal, but that city is very corrupt.
4 of them, Miami, SF, LA, and Portland are in incredibly bad locations from a natural disaster standpoint.
I repped the person who said cleveland though! Have you checked out the homes you can get in that city?!?!?! You should.
And St. Louis is a cool city, despite having a trashy East St. Louis neighbor.
