1st tier: Up to 3 cities 2nd tier: Up to 5 cities 3rd tier: Up to 10 cities
Everything else = ARE COUNTRY |
Date: February 18th, 2018 10:27 PM Author: Wonderful Light Potus Tanning Salon 1st: NYC, LA, SF 2nd: Chicago, Atlanta, DC, Seattle, Boston 3rd: Philadelphia, Denver, Dallas, Miami, New Orleans, Houston, San Diego, Nashville, Phoenix, Portland |

|
Date: February 18th, 2018 10:57 PM Author: sick nighttime meetinghouse I think Nashville is arguably more important/prominent than Miami. Definitely more important than Phoenix even if it's smaller population wise. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3897143&forum_id=2#35434331) |
|
Date: February 18th, 2018 11:03 PM Author: Concupiscible marketing idea school Nashville is culturally notable and booming but it's still not that big of a city (36th-largest MSA) which I think should dock some points. For comparison, Miami is 3x as big and is one of the 10 largest MSAs in the U.S.
New Orleans is even smaller (46th largest) and is poor, so it definitely doesn't belong. |

|
Date: February 18th, 2018 11:03 PM Author: Silver ladyboy tbf i think miami is a stretch too but we have to reach at tier 3 anyways if we're putting this many cities in it
don't see nashville ahead of phoenix, as much of a shithole as phoenix is
think austin and vegas are both pretty clearly ahead of new orleans and nashville. could also make an argument for kansas city and minneapolis on this list. |
|
Date: February 19th, 2018 7:39 AM Author: sick nighttime meetinghouse The Phoenix MSA is much larger than the Nashville MSA but it's full of methed out proles and retirees who are baking in the sun until they die. Nashville has two real industries: healthcare (HCA and CHS are both headquartered there and Vandy Hospital is legit) and music. I can't think of any industries in Phoenix. It also has more universities (Phoenix is just basically TTT ASU) and a pretty booming growth in companies moving there. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3897143&forum_id=2#35435619) |
|
Date: February 19th, 2018 7:45 AM Author: Silver ladyboy and pittsburgh has tech, insurance, and steel (at least what's left of it) but the fact that it has a few real industries (and more people than nashville btw) doesn't make it one of the 18 most important cities in the US
other than the music thing (which isn't really a real "industry" it's just part of the city's culture) nobody would know about the healthcare thing except someone with personal experience with nashville. i can't name phoenix's big industries off the top of my head but nobody outside of nashville can name them for nashville either. |

Date: February 18th, 2018 10:35 PM Author: Concupiscible marketing idea school First tier: NYC, Bay Area, D.C.
Second tier: LA, Chicago, Boston, Seattle, Dallas
Third tier: Atlanta, Charlotte, Houston, Philadelphia, Miami, Phoenix, San Diego, Twin Cities, Detroit, Denver
Seems a bit overly strict, tbh. Feels weird putting D.C. first but its importance and size have both surged so dramatically I don't think anything less can be justified. |

I don't like LA, but it's way more culturally important than SF. And much larger too. |

Date: February 19th, 2018 4:40 AM Author: violent cerebral knife faggotry Dallas being absurdly overrated. Houston has been the central hub of the most important industry on the planet that has drastically altered the global economy and geopolitics for 30+ years. I get why people might want to live in Dallas over Houston, but Houston is clearly more important and relevant to more people in the U.S. and globally, i.e. less provincial and therefore farther away from are country. Houston is Tier 2, and it's the best candidate for #4 overall. Dallas is barely clinging to Tier 3 and at risk of being bumped by Austin, since it's been in a steady decline of economic and cultural relevance for 35 years and Austin's on the opposite trend line, though it's arguably leveling off/cresting.

Date: February 19th, 2018 5:47 AM Author: violent cerebral knife faggotry It’s 500k more people than Houston metro, all of whom live 90+ minutes from downtown Dallas and work at places like Frito Lay or 7Eleven HQ. And that’s based on drawing a metro line around DFW that, if it was geographically consistent, would give Houston like half the gulf coast and all the towns on the 10 as far west as la grange. Meanwhile Houston has re-leveled the global economic foundation for the first time since the formation of OPEC. I get that the Doritos tacos at Taco Bell were a big hit, but not quite the same weight class. Dallas is the rust belt of Texas. A fading former capital that mostly represents a Texas identity people remember from last century. The fact that it manages to brain drain true Texas are country effectively via its super-exburbs to doesn’t make it a more important city at all.
