    Let's assume we rank there to be in line with 97 and the handover - else no comment...Baltimore, Detroit, Birmingham, even Beijing, ahead of HK...well OK.

    HK has a lot of flaws but you you need to be really blind to rank Richmond ahead of HK

    As is Baltimore, San Jose (is that even a city? Feels more like a place for corporate headquarters outside of San Francisco). I scanned through the whole list from top to bottom and lots of questionable picks.

    Maybe the rest brings it up. Hence the weighting question
