NYC: Need jobs, less people (especially models and hot, smart women), and more nice, handsome men.

For LA I'll say aesthetics. If LA foucused more on it's outward appearence and improved those very things like: putting in more trees, cleaner freeways, more classier and sophisticated architecture, less grit, etc. Than LA could really be even better.

Orlando
- Agree with pretty much everything FLABoyJ said. He/she nailed it right on.
- Also, especially on the east side of the city...more greenery!
Because looking constantly at cement and buildings everywhere eventually just gets depressing...
- Higher enforcement of traffic violations. Have you ever drove here!?! ...actually, more police officers would do a world of good. The poor men/women are crazy over-worked.




Melbourne/Palm Bay
- Public transportation, aka "the bus", ideally would redo their routes to make more sense. In some places, it'll take you longer to take the bus 3 miles away that it would to walk there.
- The Space Station would start hiring again. 10,000's jobs in the area have been/will be lost....and people are leaving.
- More mama and papa type restaurants, and and expansion of downtown Melbourne...its too small imo. Cute, but too small.
- Job growth and opportunity. Because that phrase is almost non-existent here.
- Other than that, I generally like this area!
