I was not being rude. You just got offended.
If there was one definition of a world class city it might fall under the category of fact, but there are many definitions and therefore it falls under opinion. If it's not fact, it's opinion. Simple as that. Don't let someones opinions ruin your day, or else you're gonna have a lot of bad days.

I can understand removing Miami but Atlanta? Atlanta is the biggest transportation hub in the United States. That is just one positive aspect amongst many. IMHO I would never add Dallas or Houston but yes to DC and Philly. I also chose Boston as my pick, it is one of the most historic cities in our country. It has charm, fine restaurants, excellent shopping, wonderful arts and entertainment, diversity and is home to several of our countries best universities. Not to mention the best darned baseball team in the country,
GO SOX!

That's odd, coming from someone in Atlanta.

Then packs of 20 gang banger wannabes in training who jump people and rob stores. Ugh. Bad place. So I'd want to live in an all white city. Not sure which one though.
Where is this???

oh no, don't worry about it, you were being rude and pushy
What you just explained is exactly what i was saying. But you didn't state it as an opinion you said it like fact. Just say "I disagree, i think they are world class" Instead of "Well, they are." get the difference. Oh well this is o/t sorry guys

I'd live in San Diego where I live. Of course, in an ideal world I'd have second homes in either Tahoe/Colorado/Utah for skiing/hiking and in Hawaii for when it dips below a high of 65 in Sand Diego.

whether someone is rude or pushy is subjective too. it's really not my fault you got your feelings hurt when I stated something as my opinion. use common sense. if its a fact, i would have provided some kind of evidence. you know it's not a fact, it's an opinion, just like everyone elses on here.
