From the hype I've been hearing about, big American cities should be the innovative beacons of the world but they aren't. The most relevant example of this? Silicon Valley (Hint: Apple is named Apple for a reason).
Why are big American cities so conservative in thinking and seem to detest change so much? When it starts taking years to build a simple cellphone tower compared to a few months elsewhere, you know something is going on.
Compare these cities to Seoul, Taipei, etc.
