I heard that Seattle is the best city in America.
Is that true?
You could definitely make an argument for that.
Yeah probably
Former Seattleite here.
No, Seattle sucks. You can live with tech dweebs or broke hipsters.
The only good thing is the tons of gorgeous young women.
To avoid butthurt non-seattleites you should have written "one of the best"
>>51125913
No.
>>51125913
It is one of the most progressive cities in the United States of America
when people say
>american """""""""culture"""""""""
they are talking about places like seattle which are only like 100 years old and consist entirely of shitty modern buildings and are inhabited solely by redditors. They take selfies and rave about "muh coffee I can't live without it" while wearing their "quality, selvedge raw denim and redwing boots."
In short, its a hipster meme city and don't visit it on vacation or for any reason really
>>51126238
wew so it really is like vancouver
>>51126238
>culture is old buildings
spot the retard
>>51126047
>>51126224
>>51126238
I really don't know much about the population, but Street View showed me it's one of the best american cities aesthetically and urbanistically speaking, if not the best.
I have a friend who lives there and she says it's bretty gud.
>>51126380
I was pretty clear in the disdain for the "culture" of its inhabitants as well so...I guess I spot the retard
>its you
>>51125913
It's a shit version of NYC.
All cities in america are shit versions of NYC.
no dude boston is
>>51126529
>culture has a logical relation to quality values
"no"
>>51126504
I wouldn't base how "good" a city is based off that chart. Because obviously cities like sacramento are not as good as Chicago and Minneapolis is not as good as New York.
If you had to rank American cities I would say
1. New York
2. Chicago
3. San Francisco
4. New Orleans
5. Boston
6. Denver
Every other city is just kind of meh
>>51125913
I think it's #3 in average quality of life among major cities.
>>51126727
>New Orleans
Please.
1. New York
2. Chicago
3. Boston (tie)
3. San Francisco (tie)
5. Los Angeles
6. Seattle
If LA were less of a hell hole it would rank above Boston and SF. But the top two are always New York and Chicago with #3 alternating between Boston, SF, and a few other contenders.
>>51128598
people like to shit on New Orleans and maybe I shouldn't have ranked them so high but I think, while living there is certainly not as good as those other cities, it's still a must-visit if you are in America because it's cultural significance.
Also, for one week out of the year the whole city engages in the biggest party in the country
What is the difference from Vancouver aside from where they belong to?
>>51129026
Vancouver is ugly
>>51129061
Seriously, though. Look at this shit
Portland >>>>>>>>>>> Seattle >>>>>>>>>>> San Francicsco >>>>>>>>>>>>> everything else
If you're autistic, don't mind shitty weather, and don't go to /pol/ you'll probably love it.
To me New York is the best one

t.seattleite
>>51129247
There is nothing special about Portland, though. Being full of "hipsters" isn't special. Every city is. Literally nobody outside of Portland thinks Portland is good. It's got to be one of the most provincial cities in the country.
>>51125913
I think it is
NYC, San Francisco, and to a lesser extent Boston are the only redeemable American cities.
>>51128598
>>51128805
New Orleans >>>>> your uncultured city
>>51129601
What the fuck? I have never seen NYC look this beautiful ever.
What street is this and why is it deserted?
>>51129628

>>51129601
Time for American cityscapes
>>51130385
>>51125913
There's nothing really bad about it, but nothing really great either.
Coincidentally, It's also one of the whitest, if not most white, major city in the country.
>>51129601
Is this Boston?
>>51130385
how warm does the lake get in the summer. is it clean enough near chicago to swim in?
>>51130524
Ya you can swim in it during the summer months. There are nicer parts of lake michigan to go to though.
>>51130385
>>51130524
That's New York not Chicago ya dingus
>>51130385
k boss
>>51125913
I live in Seattle AMA.
>>51125913
No.
New York is the only city in America.
It's OK once you get used to the frighteningly steep hills in the streets.
>tfw you will never live in Miami

>>51130997
Save yourself the effort and go to the Gold Coast.
>>51128598
LA is a shithole. The only reason people rate it is because of how huge it is.
>>51129247
Portland looks dull. For a city to be interesting it has to have more than just "hipsters and craft beers bro". There needs to be nice architecture/urban environments, good public transport, interesting and unique pockets of culture within the city.
>>51130479
that looks hella comfy
>>51130997
>wanting to live with a fuckload of Cubans, Jews and retirees
>>51131232
Miami has more culture and history than the Gold Coast.
GC is more livable and I will assume lower crime rates. Choose what's more important to you I guess.
>>51131282
Agreed, LA is the most overrated city in America. San Diego and SF are better t.b.h f.a.m.
>>51131327
Portland has a pretty good streetcar/lightrail system breh
>>51131350
too bad straya never gets snoe
>Australians celebrate Christmas in the summer
Christ, how horrifying.
I live in Lake Forest, IL which is in the Chicago metro
P comfy
>>51130524
You can swim in it but it's really limited. It's pretty fucking cold. I think you're generally only allowed to do it in certain parts of the year. Look up Open Water Chicago
No.
t. 10 minutes north
>>51131327
>good public transport
Portland probably has some of the best public transport in the country
>>51131484
I think it's been in the top 10 on livability ranking before
it's ok
>>51131327
The hipster thing is just a ruse to keep people from moving there desu.
Its pretty nice though.

>>51131876
He said "lake" so I'm guessing Sammamish or maybe further north.
Pic related is Lake Washington, east of downtown.
>>51130997
i do, it sucks
I had been in Bellevue for a while.
I love Seattle, but it's pretty cold for a Japanese even in the summer.
And rains everyday in winter. Sometimes if it's sunny, naked Americans lie on the lawn everywhere. Though it's winter in Seattle!
I'll never be an American....
>>51132576
What were you doing in Bellevue?
>>51131484
Not even close. Sorry, guy, but you have to have >25% ridership to be considered "good."
>>51130495
>Is this Boston?
No, but this is.
>>51131616
>forest

>>51132690
I went to UW for a year.
>>51132879
Nice, I go to UW at the moment as well. I meet plenty of Jap exchange students all the time.
>tfw no takoyaki
>>51125913
It's full of hipsters, faggots and faggot hipsters. Other than that it's not too bad.
>>51128598
>Chicago
>Top two
Pick one.
>>51132902
Do you like takoyaki? Can you eat the octopus?
Glad to hear that.
What about Dorayaki?
I used to make it for American friends. Some of them didn't like sweet beans-paste, but they at least tried to taste for me.
That was fun anyway.
>>51133520
People eat octopus all over the world.
>>51133520
Yeah dude, theres a couple places here down in the International District specifically that do a nice Takoyaki, and I think one place in Bellevue?
Dorayaki is okay, but I really want to try some good Okonomiyaki, I haven't found any places that sell it here yet, maybe I will try and make it at home.
>>51133520
Did 4chan just eat my post?
>>51129133
but muh nature
It's beautiful
>>51129247
Portland and Seattle are nice, but they are honestly want and try to be San Francisco, and they know it.
Too many Chinese foreign exchange students, fuck, way too many Gooks in general.
Moving there soon from SF
Will be shitting up the city and also CHINESE
HAHAHAHAHA
>>51133927
Nah Seattle has its own identity. Portland otoh is a laughing-stock
It sucks if you're not liberal. But if you're not a liberal, wtf are you living in an urban city?
If you are liberal, then yeah it's probably one of the best. Expensive, but good
>>51129363
Exactly. Moved to Seattle from Boston, heading south asap. Hipster idiots and weaboos galore, although a few hot chicks over in magnolia. If you live here, dont choose belltown like i did, and avoid cap hill like the plague that it truly is.
>>51134606
Forgot to mention that the coffee is bomb as shit though. Fonte in particular. Everything else is complete shit and you'll hate yourself unless you're an yourself old hippie or young hipster. Rich trchnerds may have fun as well.
Which is better Seattle or Portland?

Japan imports a lot of octopuses from Morocco, but heard that the Moroccan never ate an octopus.
Octopuses are delicious.
>>51134881
technically if it has a question mark it is a question.
In Seattle, the fireworks of July 4 began late at night, because a daytime is long in the summer.
July 4 was almost over.
Kids had to go to bed before it started.
>>51135171
Did you go to Lake Union to watch?
>>51134775
Is Portland even a city?
>>51134138
this desu
i didn't mind the koreans, japanese, even some of the vietnamese
but holy fuck the chinese can fuck right back off to china
they don't shut the fuck up with the proff walk in and they barely socialize outside of their chinese group
it especially sucked during the week before uni started and all their families were touring the campus and these fuck families all stared at me like fucks since i'm not a midget asian and whenever i walked around a corner while a group of them was theyd fuckn flinch and start walking quickly away like fuck you

I trust that you have been too all the other cities, and can speak at length about them?

AS a person who has been to a few 'Major' US cities, I would like to ask why 'yall are not putting Washington DC in the lists.
It seemed like a thouroughly interesting place to me. . .
