How's your connection to NYC, on what are you basing your opinions?
I just spoke to some New York lawyers, you know, the real ones not the fake ones and they told me to move to Philly because it is a much, much safer city. Lol.

Let it go, Dub King. Lol.

Now that's just plain silly, but nobody's stopping you if that's what you want to do. Philly is nicer than NY, no doubt.

You gotta have a certain attitude to get by in NY.

Yes, like the New York classic - me: "Can you help me out?" -- NY'er: "Sure, the exit's over there"*

* actual conversation with hardware store employee.

Also funny, tourists who have zero clue what a bagel is and somehow mistake them for doughnuts.

Every rude "star" you encounter in LA is most likely a transplant lol. Genuine native Angelinos tend to be a lot more down to earth, humble and friendly. They're not there to prove anything unlike those "Im a star" transplants.

Transplants are from all over the country.

I predicted the results of this poll.

I knew Chicago and New York would get the most votes because they are the two most fast paced cities in America. Many people associate fast paced with attitude.
