100 Biggest Cities In America For 2020

NYC is called the city that never sleeps for good reason- there is always something to do, no matter the time of day or night! There is amazing food, a good variety of sports teams, and just the feeling of being in the city is energizing.

Ellis Island, Central Park, and Empire State Building would be my highlights. The only drawbacks I could see would be if you go during high tourist season, as any of these places would be crowded or have long lines. New York City is great to visit any time of year, and I would highly recommend avoiding high tourist times.

I hate parts of downtown, Los Angeles. It is so dirty and full of homeless people.

The streets and sidewalks are filled with trash. Doesn't seem like our tax dollars are being used wisely.

My experience living in Chicago for three months was truly horrible as the crime rate and amount violence that occurs there is just shocking. Everyday there were gang related shootings and murders and the city just ran rampant with police bribery and corruption. Also, there wasn't anything to do there as there are no scenic or natural attractions to visit, just violence.

Needless to say, the high amount of violence stood out to me the most as I now understand why it has one of the highest crime rates in America. There was nothing great about living there as the quality of life is bad.

Houston is a very average city. Nothing too special about it, and it's very flat, with way too many people. Traffic is a burden and crime is pretty high.

Bad things: Traffic, overpopulated, weather gets extremely hot in the summer, crime is dangerous here.

Crime was usually seen at least every day, with shootings or gun violence at fast food restaurants at least once a month. A university began volunteering in the community and would clean the streets, offer services, etc. The roads are bumpy and old, and the drivers are seemingly unsafe and run red lights/cut people off all the time. There are homeless people on every corner and freeway enterence.

There is a Joyride Taco and Federal Pizza on central and camelback that has great food, and The Biltmore shopping area is a reasonably safe mall with lots of stores and places to eat.

Philadelphia is very beautiful with historic features. the crime in philadelphia has went down 60% which is way better than last year. the living in philadelphia is awesome, the houses in certain neighborhoods are beautiful especially in center city philadelphia. the best place to go in philadelphia is pennslanding. Pennslanding has big ships and also there is entertainment on most of them. center city philadelphia is a great place to go as well, there is a lot of night life, clubs, lounges, bars, and restaurants with delicious food.

Center city philadelphia stood out the most because there is a lot of things to do there, like partying.

Crime is not to bad and the schools here are good. It is a very family oriented city and it is growing fast as well.

I like all the places you can eat at in San Antonio and there is a lot for tourist to do. I did not like that you have to drive everywhere and I wish the city was more urban but overall it's a good place to live in.

The weather here is beautiful, the downtown area is very cool. There are lots of bars, clubs and high end restuaurants. With the Chargers having moved in recent years, there is a lack of professional sports but there are beaches, the zoo and many other attractions.

Balboa Park and the Zoo are a couple of my favorite places. Balboa Park features many different exhibits which sometimes seasonally change and is a very scenic area of downtown. The Zoo is historic, the best that I have been to and is easily an all day venture, which even then you probably won't get to see all the features.

I consider that Dallas, TX is the place to be. Is the second largest state in the American Union.

It is full of great places for adventure, music festivals, incredible museums and a spectacular gastronomy.

My favorite place is the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, this place has a skeleton replica of T-Rex, as if from a movie. Also is the Bishop Art District, which is an option for those looking for something different. Located in one of the most elegant and central areas of the city. In this place you will find clothing stores, theaters, restaurants and art galleries; Walking it on foot will be a good experience, like coming out of a movie

The crime is very low if you are away from the east side. Even then, for a continually growing city of over 1 million. The local sports team is major league hockey so during hockey season, there is a lot of excitement going on in downtown. Culturally, there is a good mixture of all ethnicity so food selection is diverse. As more people move in for job opportunities due to the tech industry, traffic is getting worse and worse. Most people are here for the jobs and weather.

The thing that will be shocking about the place is the cost of living. A decent house will cost upward of a million dollars. Living here is a struggle unless you make a lot of money. Everything is expensive, especially rent. If you live anywhere near a big tech firm, prepare to pay a lot for that luxury. As mentioned before, traffic is a nightmare. Going anywhere during rush hour and on major freeways like the 101 will take forever. Due to property prices, many have no choice but to commute and sit in traffic - adding an extra 1-2 hours to their workday.
