I said, "walk around the block 3 times, there is your diversity training." A no 1 reason to live in this area: diversity.

It's been ten years now since I was in Jerusalem, but as far as I can remember, the biggest "cultural" clash was between the Old City and the more recently built parts of the city. Stats say that 20.5% (approx. 300,000 people) of Manhattanites and 64% of Jerusalem residents (approx. 471,000 people) adhere to Judaism. So in percentage as well as in total numbers, Jerusalem would win.
