Why does this even matter? Chicago lost over 200,000 people from 2000 to 2010 and Los Angeles barely grew and that was fueled by minimal hispanic and asian growth as both the black and white population declined. Neither city is a city of the future. The south is the future I.E. Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Charlotte, Orlando, Raleigh, Nashville, Memphis, etc..

Congratulations?

What does that have to do with this thread? Just more Sun-Belt chest puffing I guess...

Los Angeles grew by 100K between 2000 and 2010. It's not a large percentage number because Los Angeles is doing its percentages from a much larger initial base, but it is still pretty large growth.

I used to work for Honda in downtown Chicago. Thankfully no more. I just got this wanna-be New York City feeling when I worked in downtown Chicago; as if people were trying way to hard to prove that downtown Chicago was another downtown New York. Hah! Seriously, Chicago is the city of big city wanna bees. Sure, you have a lot of big buildings in Chicago, but it takes more than some big buildings to make a true world class city. And Chicago is not a world class city. Just face it. Chicago can keep its big buildings, its frozen ass lake, its small town mentality Wrigleyville, its freak show Boy's Town, and any other wanna be bull **** that doesn't add up to a thing; besides a city that's rusting and falling apart.

Nobody here except for you is comparing it to NYC. Downtown Chicago is amazing compared to Downtown LA. Luckily LA has way more than its downtown going for it, and Chicago, for the most part, does not.
