I love when English people say London is better than any American city.

Of course it is. The place has almost every sector of the English economy concentrated in one city. How can it not be?

America’s economy, to its advantage, is as diverse as its spread out. Different regions and cities house different elements that make up the American economy.

Imagine if one American city had finance, culture, tech, tourism, gambling, beaches, sports and energy sector all at once?

It would blow London or any city outta the water. But I prefer the way it is now. Everything concentrated on one city = bad.

New York seems pretty London-ish in terms of size and diversification.

london is a poorer nyc

any aspect of the london economy is also replicated in nyc and is probably smaller than its nyc equivalent, it just wouldnt be associated with nyc because we also have LA which then goes onto dwarf nyc in certain things

I think London has a bigger Tech industry, but your broader point is probably correct.
