Taken from the list of Alpha++ and Alpha+ Cities.
NYC
London
Tokyo
Hong Kong
Shanghai
Singapore
Paris Dubai Sydney I like HK and Tokyo, but NYC is still better IMO. Wasn’t the biggest fan of London, but maybe should give it another try. Never been to the others. I excluded Beijing b/c no offense, doesn’t really belong IMO.
Compton
Paris if I chose from this list. Otherwise Barcelona!
NYC
Milwaukee
Barcelona 100%. If I got a high paying job offer there (enough to live in the cool parts and enjoy the finer things) I’d go in a second. With the exception of an NBA team, that city has everything I want.
kiev
Between NYC and Paris (the two I have visited) I would pick Paris.
Midland
What are the pros of Paris and Barcelona? Never been myself.
Rio de Janeiro
Only have experience with NYC, London and Sydney. Would choose London from those 3.
Barcelona, Paris, Vancouver
I’ve only been to two “world cities”. NYC and Buenos Aires (which didn’t make the list).
So what is the real difference between them, other than the language? I would assume that most of these cities are more or less the same.
Pro of Barcelona: Lack of French people
Con of Paris: Almost entirely French people
Beaches, history, culture, food, soccer, hot women. Good living in general. Pretty good weather. Train ride to other great things in Spain - more food, great hiking, cycling, mountain biking.
Paris is nice, but I can’t picture living there.
If Italy had better world cities than Milan and Rome I’d want to be there. Milan is just ok. Rome is garbage once you do the touristy stuff.
LA is not bad if you have money and live close to work.
FTFY
I’ve never seen such concentration of hot men in one city.
Parisian beaches are legendary.
Yuck.
Some of the finest in Africa!
