I define city as: Manhattan, Inner City of London, Tokyo, Seoul etc
etc. I've never been to ATL so I don't want to pass any judgement but I'm
prejudiced to the idea that it won't meet my standards as a city. I've
never been to LA either but I have a feeling that LA won't either. I'm
inclined to think S.F. will. Chicago is city. I went to school in Ohio
and Cleveland didn't pass for a city. Detroit might actually be mistaken
for a refuse dump before it's mistaken for a city. Ann Arbor is nice but
again not a city. Philly, especially the Penn area, is a city even if it
is God forsaken. I would consider Vancouver and Toronto cities mostly
because I consider them cultural centers. I'm sure they fit into my city
definition in other ways, but I don't know how since I've never been.
I used to live in Jersey City. It's considered a city and the tallest
building in NJ was a couple of blocks from me and my apartment was small
and over priced and I could get around everywhere on public
transportation. But I didn't consider it city living.
I should have been more specific. If I'm going to live in a city I want to
live very well in a very commercially developed city. These cities
included, but not limited to, Manhattan (Upper East Side), London, Tokyo,
Seoul, Paris, Madrid, SF, Berlin, Sidney, Hong Kong, Singapore, Stockholm
and Taipei. Non cities I have an interest in living is Austin Texas and
Miami Florida. Hopefully some of this can come true within the next 10 years.
