I'd call Vancouver both less diverse and globally significant than Seattle, and Seattle is behind both LA and San Francisco. That's just on the west coast of North America.
It might seem like I'm trashing Vancouver, but all cities have their problems, and I'm not sure there's another city I'd rather live in.
