Rankings of cities are valid and important to people if their city is highly ranked. If their city is ranked near the bottom or outranked by a city they feel is inferior to theirs, the rankings are "meaningless".

Detroit is a fine city, Atlanta is a fine city. One is growing, one isn't. The one that isn't growing has people in this forum that enjoy magnifying any negatives of the one that is growing. This is yet another example of it.
