STOP THE MADNESS ALREADY.
this post is inspired by comments like these:
i'm sure where you live or anyone else for that matter is unique and is a place to be proud of on its own. i'm not saying that anythingoutside of NYC should not matter, or is not important.
but it's one thing to discredit NYC. it's become a regular trend in NT. no other city has been mentioned more in threads saying ( insert city here )> NY. ( talk about insecurity). but all that is fine. it wouldn't be New York if people didn't want to TOP it ( good luck with that though ).
however, any of that isn't fair.
FACTS, however, are fair.
so how about we keep it rolling and never have to mention it again? ( although the possibility is as slim as having a PYP of a 100 pages without being abruptlyhalted.
)
so i saw this:
this was a supposed to be a post in the thread, but anyways carrying on:

i'm tired of these ____ > NY threads because everyone seems to like talking about NY because their city does not get the same global recognition that NYdoes...
how about the unbiased world.
and how about we talk FACTS?

so to whoever denied the "capital of the world" claim, you have just been disproved. no other city in the world is as dominant in terms of influenceand power than New York City. no other city is even in the same range of dominance as New York when commerce, fashion, entertainment, finance and culture areaccounted in one.

New York is home to the most valuable real estate in the planet.
The stretch of Park Avenue's real estate from Upper East Side downwards combined is more expensive than the capital worth most cities COMBINED. that'sjust Park Ave. and NOT even including Madison, Lexington, and apartments in Soho or anything else in the city.
PARK AVE.
New York has the largest mass transit system in the whole world.
one doesn't need a car to get from point A to point B, having the world's most intricate public transportation system running along 5 boroughs, housingAmerican's largest metropolitan population. no other city in the world runs its public transportation as frequent and as complex. NONE. especially any cityin California. if you can think of one, please be my guest.

Fashion Week starts in NewYork every year for a reason. Tourism here trumps all other cities in the WORLD, having more than 47 million people visit every year. New York has morerestaurants of every different cuisine than any other place in the WORLD. there have been more films filmed here, whether major or independent than any othercity in the world. there are also more television shows recorded here than any other place in the WORLD.

to anyone who knows NY, they know that's just the jist of it...the experience is something else if you REALLY try to immerse yourself in New York City andnot just do the cliche tourist things.
please name me another city that can boast of such grandeur and dominance in every level of global significance based on facts.
if the entire New York City was destroyed, the national and global structure would fall into pieces. the whole world would be affected. you would be affectedin some way, wherever you are from. what you watch, what you wear, what you buy, your livelihood is somehow connected to New York City wherever you are from.you can't say that about any other city in the US.
don't judge it based on the pictures. READ THE FACTSSTATED ABOVE.
i believe i have proved my statement already. i'm not really one to argue though. i'm gonna let my other NYers chime in.
once again, i am not dissing any city or saying others don't matter. but facts solidify my point. i'm not trying to make you love NY. or saying youshould live here. you can hate it all you want. or say you would never live here. that's cool with me.
just don't say it isn't what it is made out to be...because wherever you are right now cannot compete against it in a larger scale.
appreciate wherever you're from. that's just what i'm doing.
oh yeah.
