Tysons doesn't have the caliber of luxury Hotels that Buckhead does, and Lenox & Phipps combined is equal to Tysons and the Galleria. Buckheads estate neighborhoods totally blow anything in NoVa out of the water, especially the bland suburban homes surrounding Tysons.
You're being the big homer here, not me. Buckhead is our premiere district, but of course you have to find a way to dismiss it as 'nothing special.'
It sounds as if you are only familiar withe the areas around the malls. If so, then your opinion means nothing as you are not even qualified to have one.

So you said that Tysons Corner can't meet Buckhead on any metric and I just proved you wrong and your comeback is just some opinion nonsense..
Tysons Corner alone is the 12th largest business district in the country clearly you know nothing about Tysons Corner. Should we take a closer look? Crime rate Buckhead 6.94 Tysons 2.39. How about average salary? Buckhead 43K Tysons 72K....... shall we go further?
This is just another attempt by you to make everything Atlanta amazing and relevant... go sit down. Your "premier" district compares to our edge city. I wasn't even giving Tysons any praise, I was saying it's a sprawly mess of skyscrapers next to strip malls next to large homes which is comparable to Buckhead.

Hahaha! Please provide proof of this ridiculous claim that Tysons is the 12th largest business district in the country. That's delusional, and I know Tysons very well. And you clearly know nothing about Buckhead at all. Get back to me when Tysons can support hotels like the Mandarin Oriental and the St. Regis.
This is just another attempt by you in your continuous agenda to trash anything and everything about Atlanta.

There's a few articles below mentioning it. So let's go back to where you said Tysons can't meet any metric against Buckhead? Are you ignoring that now that you've been proven wrong, that you're only claim now for Buckhead being better is two luxury hotels? sorry but we tend to keep our best hotels "in" the city and Hilton is headquartered in Tysons. Oh and by the way, I see that there is no mention from you regarding anything else I posted such as crime rate and salaries......... willfull ignorance?
Have you looked up average household income? Or education attainment? Below is a comparison between the two. Eat it.

Like I said before, both are sprawly messes with skyscrapers next to strip malls next to large homes. Also they are both quasi urban suburbs with both having a rail line that goes through, prominent shopping centers, and are important business centers for their respective cities.
How you think Buckhead is light years better then Tysons is beyond me.... it's pure homerism, at least I said they were comparable.

There is a Ritz Carlton in Tysons, has been for some years now. Also most of your points about Tysons vs Buckhead have been subjective, while your opponent's have been fact base. Tysons is an "edge suburb" surrounding DC. Buckhead is an upper class neighborhood in the city of Atlanta. Yet Tysons while younger has probably equal office space to Downtown Atlanta and has 4 Metro stations, more headquarters than Buckhead, and yes a higher grossing mall than Lenox and Phipps. If your not aware Tysons alone is about the same size as Uptown (Downtown) Charlotte, and growing.
Not sure where your getting this sense of one place having clout from hotels, but this following development if approved will feature a 615 ft tower and major luxury hotel in Tysons also:

I mean, it's all opinion based. But there are a lot of suburbs, and certainly the ones I'll cast a vote for, that don't have cookie cutter neighborhoods. And if they do, they're a one-off exception. BUT there are advantages to neighborhoods like those, so I'll concede on preference.
But in your opinion, is Naperville nicer than Wilmette? Winnetka? La Grange? Northfield? Park Ridge? Barrington? For me, I prefer a good number of Illinois suburbs before I'd even think of Naperville, let alone suburbs around the US.
First of all Hinsdale is just vomit to me. No character, new money tear downs left and right.
Naperville cannot be included in the quaint extremely wealthy suburbs of the North Shore. Reason being there are over 150,000 and a lot of land in Naperville compared to those burbs. North Shore is old money and of course real estate prices are more pricy
Hinsdale, Clarendon Hills, Western Springs are kind of "we cannot afford the North shore, but want the tear down."
Naperville experiences this as well to a smaller level.
That all said, there is no downtown in Chicagoland that rivals downtown Naperville in 2018. From restaurants, to entertainment, to riverwalk, festivals, etc. there is nothing like it.
New York City Metro(Long Island, Westchester County, Fairfield County and Southern portion New Haven County CT, Lower Hudson Valley, Central NJ and Northeast NJ)
Boston Metro area (North Shore, Metrowest, Areas South of Boston, Southern New Hampshire, areas near Providence RI)
Washington DC (Northern Virginia and North of D.C area within 25 mins from D.C)
San Francisco East Bay and The Peinsula
Philly not really sure but Main Line and Jersey shore areas
Los Angeles (Manhattan Beach, Palos Verdes Estates, San Marino, Irvine, South Pasadena, Newport Beach etc
Miami (Bal Harbour, Coral Gables, Miami Lakes, Weston, Parkland, Key Biscayne, Doral, Palmetto Bay, Surfside etc.
Chicago (Naperville, Buffalo Grove, Clarendon Hills, Hinsdale, Winnetka, Vernon Hills)
Minneapolis (Deep Haven, Chanhassen, Victoria, Eden Prairie, Shorewood)
Seattle (Sammamish, Redmond, Clyde Hill, Redmond, Bellevue etc
Portland (Bethany, Lake Oswego, West Linn, Oak Hills etc
