Recommend me a city in North America.

7 of the top 10 bank holding companies are located in NYC
1 is located in Charlotte (Bank of America)
1 is located in San Francisco (Wells Fargo)
1 is located in Minneapolis (US Bancorp)

The US has quite a few banks, so even some second tier cities will have one or more large banks.

Yeah, somewhere in New York or California. Why would you ever consider anywhere else?

[Jon Miller]

Because you have been to other parts of the US?

New York and California

Too many people = too many people in the way to readily get any public works done efficiently and effectively = outdated, overwhelmed, under-maintained and just plain ineffective infrastructure anywhere near a coast.

[Jon Miller]

I do like coasts, but so far prefer the north west.

I'm an IT BA/PM, so I need a place with lots of IT firms or bank HQs that is not Texas.

PM Kontiki about Toronto.

He is right when he says that bashing TO is a national pastime.

It is a very cosmopolitan city, it has a lot of varied events and shows, and it is the financial centre.

If I were to move to the USA, I would move to Las Vegas

Since you are choosing the US a relvant question is: How long do you plan to live in the spot your going to? Be ready to be very mobile because White flight can cost you a lot if you are slow.

Also if you plan on having kids the beast bet strategy seems to be private schools or semi-homeschooling, since if you can ignore public schools in your optimization criteria you can get a pretty nice place to live at a lower cost. Not having kids works too, that's why gays are the shock troops of the gentrification wars of the US.

At least he doesn't waste most of his time with a race obsession. That would be costly.

[C0ckney]

white flight or no, he should definately make sure the place doesn't have any racist slovenian knobheads.

So are you disputing the importance of good schools for people who want kids or the existance of the White flight phemonmena?

In any case I don't get people who say "racist" like it should be some horrible reprimand. The word is so bloated and easly thrown around that its meaningless, less dignified than meaningless actually, its a joke.

He said he wanted to move to Marin, you moron. Marin is probably the whitest county in California so stuff it with your white flight nonsense.
