The American Cities Tier List

[Kerbalsaurus]

NORTH EAST CORRIDOR

I know this meme is like a million years old, but I've spent a lot of time working on this. I will take one major city from each state and rank it. Most of the cities are state capitals, but that's only because there aren't many big cities up in New England. The chart is rated by economy, diversity, industry, and the general quality of living in that city. Sorry if this thread comes across as mean to anyone, it's simply more based upon opinion and is supposed to be harmless fun.

S TIER

None

A TIER 

New York City, Boston, Philadelhia, Hartford

B TIER

Providence, Concord, Augusta, Montpelier

C TIER

Concord (it was kinda in between B and C)

D TIER

None

E TIER

F TIER

My threshold isn't quite that low. But, yeah, any city that qualifies to be on the "Cities Tier List" is probably a place you wouldn't catch me dead in these days.

I don’t know, I mean, I like the prospect of living in a city. Maybe not New York because you most likely will be caught dead if you leave central Manhattan, but the idea of being around many people is definitely one that stands out to a social person like me.

I'm excited to see your take on the Pacific Northwest. In particular, Portland has gone pretty downhill since say, 2011. Time seems like nothing to me so it feels like a hypothetical cities tier list from 2011 should be valid, but unfortunately it isn't!

Vegas (the non-tourist parts) is surprisingly nice (I’m basically talking about Green Valley and Summerlin exclusively). I think it should be placed pretty high on the list.

Based on the personally known people, who left for USA, there are just two cities there, and Denver is more magnetic than Seattle.

(At least, no other place is known as their landing zone.)

Seattle might be the landing zone, but to avoid damage from dust being sent through the vacuum at high speeds when the landers settle down, the colony is in Portland (Oregon).

Russian is the third most common language here after Spanish.

Okay, well, that turned bad.
