London > New York. Anyone else agree? Im not even from here and London has been pretty dench so far. The only thing I don't like about it is the tube, but when you live in HK no other subway system in the world can compare tbh. >pic unrelated

What's so great about Hong Kong metro? And yes, London is much better than New York in every way.

I've been thinking of moving to one of those cities. Whether I can move to NY depends on whether my company can send me there. If not, I'll probably head to London. How long have you been there? Why do you prefer it to New York?

If you're looking for concrete jungles with lights all over the place then NY or HK is for you. London is a completely different type of city than the other two imo.

>>6181480 I give this one to New York. Although, London girls has its fair share of attractive women, NY is a lot more diverse than London. Whether you're looking for an Asian chick or a South American chick or whatever, New York has it.

Why the shit are there SO MANY Russian billionaires? Moscow has more billionaires than New York or London. ALL of Moscows billionaires are ethnically Russian (or Russian-jewkike). Whilst large percentages of New York or London's billionaires are foreign-born (including those from Russia). Anyway. I'm not sure that London>New York.

>>6183305 Yea, so far Paris has managed an impressive collection of skyscrapers without them look slightly out of place. I don't know why, but London skyline never satisfies me at first glance. I'll spend a bit of time looking for different angles and whatnot. Not too sure on this, but I think Paris and Warsaw are some of the top European cities for skyscrapers?

>>6183437 I think the important thing about Paris skyscrapers is that they aren't in Paris proper. So they developped in a limited area just next to Paris, instead of being scattered everywhere. Also, this is France, so they couldn't just build anything anywhere they liked, everything is more or less controlled.

>>6183462 Not being built in administrative Paris doesn't mean they are not in Paris. Paris goest much beyond the administrative limits. Pic is related (Paris from a satellite by night) : what's between the red circle is administrative Paris. But as you can see, does it mean we should consider what's oustide of it something that is not Paris ?

>>6183513 That's the difference between "Paris proper" and "Paris". And my point was exactly that they aren't within Paris' administrative limits but in another administrative area, which is why they aren't scattered everywhere.

>>6183462 Good point. >>6183492 That's what I was thinking. Some architectural websites I follow tend to have information on new skyscrapers (or just general construction), and I often find Paris and Warsaw listed. I find Frankfurt's skyline to be really iconic as well.

Chicago (my hometown) is the only major American city I can think of (apart from maybe Boston) that has something New York, LA, and DC dont; culture. Chicago has a real culture and a sense o community that just isn't there in other American metropolises. The other cities of the rust belt have plumetted into decay, and the growing sprawl in the South and West are just giant suburbs with no central unifying features or history.

I love Sydney's skyline. Not too over the top, but not lacking. Perfectly placed on, what I consider to be, the most beautiful harbour in the world, couple only with Stockholm. As a native of LDN, I naturally concur that LDN is a far more superior city in ever regard, but that fuck I no longer live there. Worst 18 years of my life.
