Strongly disagree with your characterization of either point as "trite and meaningless;" subjectivity is what frames the
entire conversation, as evidenced by this thread.
And yes, things you mentioned like weather, food, culture and "urban quality"--again, another topic that is fiercely debated on this forum, are fundamentally subjective.
That's how human judgment works. If you asked 10 posters here to list, in order, the "10 best cities," you'll get 10 different answers. That's precisely what I'm referring to, and it's just the reality of different tastes, priorities, emotions and experiences.
