Immigrants don't know any better. Others just ride the wave of popular culture. Wannabes. Too much "Sex in The City", "TRL" and "Friends". Life in NYC is nothing like that. Unless your very wealthy. I honestly think a lot of people would at least like to visit, I don't think most people honestly want to live here. This is a pro city site on the internet so of course you are going to hear from a lot of NYC fans.
I really never understood why NYC is so filthy. The worse though is right before businesses open in the morning. Before they sweep up the sidewalks in front. You have to litterally kick your way through many retail areas in NYC in the early AM. Also the lower income areas are the filthiest overall.
Philly comes close, I guess it's due to the same factors just to a lesser extreme.

The cause of a lot of litter. Not enough, and always packed to the brim.
