It's really funny that a lot of (domestically) well-known American cities wouldn't even scrape Tier 3 in China lol
Does America have any cities except New York that would be tier 1?
In theory, San Francisco. However it is literally inaccessible to anyone except the top .01% and anyone lucky enough to be a homeowner there before prop 13. Every city in the US that is even close to being worth a damn is like this and every day I pray to the great train in the sky that the Bay Area becomes Hong Kong 2.
San Francisco? Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami, Philadelphia and Boston would all like a word. Los Angeles and Chicago in particular.
Population-wise some of those are too low compared to Chinese T1 cities. But there's no official definition so...
Yeah I wouldn’t expect any of those except maybe LA to be considered tier 1, I said those ones because they’re all larger than San Francisco lol
San Francisco has a healthy and vibrant metro surrounding it though. There's Oakland to the East and the entirety of Silicon Valley to the South (including San Jose).
Even including that it doesn’t break 8 million people
Boston isn't even close to tier 1.
I agree but it’s closer than San Fransisco
In terms of population or infrastructure?
puts down pizza hello!
No
