[quote=flyer]Funny article. Fortunately, it will never happen.
Most of us in San Diego could live anywhere we want to live, but we choose to live here and visit elsewhere for many, many reasons.
I don’t see any reason to argue about which city is more or less “impressive,” as long as people are spending their lives in the place, or places they REALLY WANT to be.
Love San Diego–live there–Love NYC–live there–Love Boston–live there–Love Florida–live there, and on and on. It’s really pretty simple.[/quote]
the reason to compare and argue is because cities change and require future planning and comparisons give people a basis to argue how the future city should look like.
also superior cities are group accomplishments and city dwellers should not be modest about them. My mom for instance is incredibly immodest about how great NYC is. I on the other hand praise Temecula and talk about how NYC is soulkilling.
I also seriously doubt that most people in sd or anywhere could live anywhere they want. He’ll I’m seriously tied down where I’m at. And budgeted.
