Thought this was an interesting website, which ranks the 100 best cities in the World via numerous factors. It's definitely a different ranking than the Global Cities Initiative, which notes that San Jose is a Gamma City.
77. New Orleans (Fuck you)
76. Phoenix (At least my hometown made it...sort of)
(Don't care)
47. Austin (I'm waiting for the day it's Number one. Some day, Austin, some day Austin)
(don't care)
35. Dallas
34. Seattle
33. Dublin
32. Milan
31. Houston (Finally)
30. Munich
29. Prague
28. Seoul
27. San Diego
26. Miami
25. Frankfurt
24. Las Vegas (Nice!)
23. Sydney
22. Berlin
21. Beijing
20. Hong Kong
19. Zurich
18. Washington DC
17. Toronto
16. San Jose
15. Boston
14. Rome
13. Los Angeles (Should be higher, IMO)
12. Amsterdam
11. Madrid
10. San Francisco (Over Los Angeles? Come on)
9. Dubai
8. Singapore
7. Chicago
6. Moscow
5. Barcelona
4. Tokyo (good contender for No. 1, IMO)
3. New York City (Ditto, natch)
2. Paris
1. London
Yeah, would personally put Tokyo or NYC as No. 1. Dubai doesn't deserve to be on any of these lists, fuck that place. Los Angeles being ranked below any city besides NYC is pure bullshit.
