With all the money the DC to Boston corridor saves, why is the region such a has-been craphole. Oh wait, they're tightazzes.

Yes. Those college educated affluent northeastern mommas are really cramping our style. You should check out parts of the country with lots of high-school dropout po' as hell dixie mommas.. now those places got style. New everything. Freakin' awesome.

Yeah, the best education and medical areas must take all the money that people save on groceries.

Point well taken there, however, they have an excuse for their condition. There is no reason for modern NYC and DC to resemble Hiroshima 8:16 A.M. on August 6, 1945.

This lack of investment into cities is why Rush and Becks have been able to use liberal cities as an example of policy failure and use them as a crutch to their arguments. Boston, NYC and DC should be rivaling the highest ranked cities in the world, instead of not even making the top 60.

When the financial gurus who rule the planet start inhabiting the cities that rank high on that list like Melbourne, let me know. For the time being, they seem to prefer lower-ranking cities like New York City and London and Chicago. I wonder why.

Does Bill Gates and Warren Buffet live in any one of those cities? Not to mention, why would I or anyone else care about whether financial gurus lived in a city? Does nothing for my daily commute, quality of life, quality of the city I live in etc etc etc.

The most common type of foreigner from the first world who migrates to NYC or Chicago are those doing so for the money and quite possibly career opportunities - in their career. What percentage of these particular migrants then stick there and do not go back abroad? Lets also not forget 9% of migrants to the US are from the first world.

Whereas, go look at how many people migrate to Australian cities and move there permanently. I am talking about migrants from the first world, who have choices and not desperate for money. Half the people I worked with in last position in AUS had migrated from first world countries and were on their way to acquiring citizenship; mocked me for moving to the US and that was before this financial crisis and during the good times of the decade.

London, is nothing like NYC or Chicago and quite nice actually, so that's a shitty comparison.

EDIT: We also do not do coupons in AUS, with a $53K median salary we do not need to use them.

London, NYC and Chicago are the financial capitals of the western world. All three cities fare poorly in your silly surveys.

Who gives a ###### if they are the financial capitals of the western world - for now. You say that like it affects our lives in any meaningful way. You also say it as if this somehow diverts from the reality that the city and greater region is a craphole. Look at the houses of the Jersey shore, we have a dog house that is worth more and nicer than their homes. Heck, look at jersey shore, what a dump.

Three separate independent yearly studies hardly constitute my survey.

I can play along too, much like a certain member on here, you fail to grasp that they heydays of NYC area is over. No one cares anymore and the world is looking to Asia-Pac, where the growth for the next century is going to be. At least the west coast has a good chance of being part of it.

Nothing wrong with using online coupons. I search for 'coupon codes' all the time. Just saved 35% off blinds last night.... plus free shipping!

Ok, I agree Jersey Shore is a Crap_Hole... but Chicago is not a craphole and its much nicer than NYC .
