Who cares about NYC v London when we can discuss mid sized Pennslyvania towns ?!?!
20 years ago the mayors of Allentown and Erie had a bet on which city would be third. Allentown edged Erie. Allentown is now at least 25k bigger. Even worse than that for Erie, its now 4th behind Reading. Secret to success? Locate yourself near an expensive big cheap and watch people poor into your slum lord owned rowhomes!
As an Allentown native I like to say Allentown is basically Reading plus about 25,000 middle class folks. That was true growing up and is still true today.
