Miami became the most important city in America (ft.com)

The most important city in America has always been and will always be New York City.

The critical mass as it pertains to raw numbers and density of all the building blocks of society is unparalleled:

1) People

2) Money

3) Concrete

4) Transportation

5) Productivity

6) Recreation

Globally only London and Tokyo can compete with NYC.

People who don't like NYC tend to be those who are not at peace with themselves and especially unable to accept their own irrelevance, which is constantly thrown in your face in NYC, whether you are Michael Bloomberg, Rihanna or Robert De Niro.


I live in NYC and like it, but there are lots of legit reasons to dislike it.

But it definitely is the most important city in the country, and to think Miami merits being grouped with NYC, LA, SF, DC, and Boston is a joke.


Great article, I feel HN has known Miami’s secrets for quite a while:
