The BEST thing about cities is _____________!
In my view, @BrentToderian, the best thing with cities is the concentration of excellence.
I know this is an assertion with a potential to annoy, so I'll try to illuminate:
To me, with both a rural and urban personal history, a city is defined by a high density of The Very Best - in whatever field, be it thinkers, musicians, actors, craftsmen or maids.
(To me, a "city" has a cathedral, a university, and/or a harbour. Plus a history.)
@BrentToderian @jmo Oh yes, “a concentration of excellence” really sums up what a city has. For me the best cities have at least one large library & Cathedral, several theatres, concert halls, museums, art galleries & parks, & lots of places to eat & drink. For it to be a completely wonderful city, for me it also needs great public transport.
