Philadelphian here. The times has a well known anti-philly bias. They're mad about our cheap houses.

The times is a New York publication and most New Yorkers believe NYC is the best city by far on the east coast. That bias will surely be reflected in their articles.

I don’t think it’s quite as simple as cheap houses.

[edit: I see now TFA settled on Denver, but I don’t think that invalidates my point]

When you say "believe NYC is the best city by far on the east coast", did you mean to say the world =P

Haha, I did not, though that is a fairly common refrain. As a New Yorker, I do not believe it’s the best city in the world, but I think it’s the best in the States.
