Why'd you say that?

New York is terrible.
>terrible walkability
You are always next to a loud, busy automotive traffic.
>terrible transit
subways are a joke. Huge swathes of the city depend entirely on the bus system. Stops are located 1-3 blocks apart so it takes an hour to go 6 miles.
>no bike lanes
>dirty
>hostile
>unsafe
>expensive
Even compared to the worst European city I've been to (Paris), NYC is an unlivable, hostile shit hole. It has all the bad things about America with none of the good things.

It seems very Dubai-esque these days in the way that no one there seems to live normal lives anymore. The lack of families and kids being the prime example. You just work and consoom.

They saw the UK and thought, "hmm I'll have some of that".

Though to be fair, only the foreign born citizens of NYC, the locals don't.

NYC isn't even great for "diversity" aka ethnic food. West coast has much better Chinese food, Korean food, Vietnamese food, and Mexican food. If you want to eat well in NYC you have to go to $200 per diner Michelin restaurants.

Not even close. Been there and it pretty much sucks ass.
Tokyo fucking destroys it in every possible way.

Not really. It has a handful of famous skyscrapers and museums, but Chicago and LA have far more soulful big city architecture.

Flyover Cletus that has never been to NYC. Most streets are quiet. Not everyone lives on Broadway. Most don't even live on Manhattan, but Brooklyn. This is a random but typical street in the village, but it could also be a street almost anywhere in Brooklyn. A lot less traffic than European cities like Stockholm.

>unsafe
It's one of the safest major cities in the country, even mogging European cities. That's a part of what makes it so desirable and expensive.

Congrats on finding that 4 block area without massive car traffic. This is what a typical NYC residential street is like.

There are only 2 cities that really matter

Lots of others are fun for holiday destinations but they don't have it all
>>

Not really, as anyone with the good sense or cash to leave the place headed for a resort like Bath
>>
>>216366139
it don't matter. if it did, I'd name a city like Bern or Singapore over Tokyo. "Greatest" can have many definitions.

Dubai should NOT be anywhere near that high. Complete nothingburger city with no history and no culture.
Also Houston is a sprawl of featureless concrete populated by 35th percentile marginal people with nothing going for them. Boston or Philadelphia should be there instead.

Saint-Petersburg should be on the list somewhere.
Moscow should be lower
Dubai should be lower together with Moscow, very similar shitholes
Paris shouldn’t be on the list
>Indian fucking cities
SAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
>johanesburg
>no Zanzibar
>Vienna that low comparatively to like 3/4 of the list
???????? Who made that shit????????
I’m not even going to mention a fucking LONDON at the top lmao, is it 1930s or something?
Also, Jerusalem should be included because it’s The City. Biblical importance.
>>
>>216365935
That looks like Staten Island, Bayonne, or possibly somewhere far out in Queens, like Jamaica. That's suburban, not the city, you absolute mongoloid. It also doesn't look like a place with cars zooming by, so I don't know why you chose it. It's absolutely not a typical residential CITY street, because it's not a city street at all.

>>216365957
Why? Should I compare it to Eskimo igloo settlements too?
>>
>>216366088
If being a shithole does not disqualify you from this list, then Athens should definitely be there. Athens Metro area is def the most important one in the Balkans, and one of the most important metro areas in Europe & the Mediterranean

Also why is Genève not there while Zurich is?...
>>
>>216366952
List made by a turboretard I guess
Misses and misplaces important cities

>>216367064
It's just arbitrary, though it's actually a thing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globalization_and_World_Cities_Research_Network) There are some factors (historical, cultural, financial & geopolitical) you could take into account when creating a list like that. Here's which cities I'd include, in no particular order.

I'd definitely include Athens, Chongqing, St. Petersburg among others. Also Tokyo is at the same level as NY and London at least
