He's spoilt by living in New York Stephen Send a noteboard - 31/08/2011 01:26:02 AM

I wouldn't call anything a city that didn't have at least 2 to 2.5 million people in the greater metropolitan area.


Why not?


Few places are a real city relative to that.

How do you call towns "cities"? Tom - 30/08/2011 08:12:27 PM 719 Views
I thought you were going to mention Perth. The rest are clearly cities, if you ask me. Legolas - 30/08/2011 08:23:33 PM 695 Views
Perth has 1.7 million people. Nate - 30/08/2011 08:30:26 PM 853 Views
You kind of inadvertently prove the point... Legolas - 30/08/2011 09:21:18 PM 920 Views
So I see! Nate - 30/08/2011 09:45:27 PM 949 Views
A million people isn't a city? Nate - 30/08/2011 08:28:20 PM 861 Views
Not necessarily. Tom - 30/08/2011 10:49:08 PM 828 Views
You could be right re: population density. Nate - 30/08/2011 11:06:36 PM 772 Views

As a comparison ... Nate - 30/08/2011 08:37:28 PM 888 Views

Livability obviously doesn't include "Concentration of Venomous Creatures". *NM* TaskmasterJack - 30/08/2011 11:43:43 PM 406 Views
or perhaps Australian cities rank so high because they're so much better than the alternative Zaphod - 30/08/2011 11:58:47 PM 876 Views
Actually, the reason our cities are so liveable is because they're built to keep said creatures out Colonel Logain - 31/08/2011 12:59:01 AM 706 Views
How? ironclad - 31/08/2011 08:20:01 AM 695 Views
I can't risk putting the answer on a public forum, the venomous creatures may find out Colonel Logain - 01/09/2011 07:26:52 AM 638 Views
