I pretty much like Omaha, NE/Council Bluffs, IA myself.

BI would probably prefer the city that is more liberal.

The cities are alike in that they're both densely populated cosmopolitan capitals of their respective countries, but they also have their differences.

Spot the error in this statement.

"both densely populated cosmopolitan capitals of their respective countries"

Common Core geography.

Funny, I thought the debate was: which is the worse city?

NYC is better.

Sometimes hard to understand Londoners and their brogue accents....

Just keedean...

I love both places.

“As a side note: Even though I currently live in NYC, I’m a native Chicagoan, so I’m an impartial judge in the matter.”

Very funny. Impartial between Chicago and NYC?

LOL. This is like asking, “Poop or battery acid - which is better to eat?”

London is lots of fun but you always need to watch when you step off the curb.
From force of habit, Americans tend to look the wrong way.

I’ve been to both cities a few times. Agree with the author that it is a toss-up. Some observations:

— I’ve driven in NYC. It is obscenely expensive, in terms of both tolls and parking. You can easily take a train into the city, but I’ve found that getting back is a nightmare. I’ve never driven in London (or the UK for that matter).
— ALL the 21-35 year old women in London are attractive, with many who are beautiful. I cannot make that statement about any other place.
— I hate the unpredictable weather. Seems to rain a few times a day.
— Yes, everything is VERY expensive. Much more so than NYC. In fact, eating out in NYC is surprisingly affordable.
— Public restrooms seem very hard to find in NYC. And lines proliferate, especially for the ladies room. Which is why my wife hates going there.

Dunno. They don’t speak English in either place.

Housing is also more expensive in London.

Oil sheiks are plowing their ill-gotten gains into London real estate. Who's going to compete with that?

On the plus side, you can move money, but you can't move real estate. The Brits could pull the plug on the Arabs anytime they want to (not yet, but in 30 or 40 years?) and just 'repatriate' everything. "Sorry, mate, no refunds."

Have visited both cities many times and enjoy both, as a visitor. And I did live just outside NYC for a number of years but not in the city itself. But between the two I have always felt that, given an extremely good income in either place, that I would enjoy living in London far more. Part of that is the civility of people there and the lack of same in New York, or the Northeast in general. But it’s strictly a matter of personal preference.

It’s a lot easier to get to America from New York City than from London ...

Therefore, London is a better city ...

For leftists to live in.
