I'm not offended, don't worry. It just came off as very smug, like D.C. is so small that somebody would be easily bored if they lived there their whole lives. Coming from NYC, I think you can appreciate why it may come off that way, no?
Probably, I'm a fan of DC, if I ever move there I would like to have unlimited amounts of fun.
Hahah more NYC envy? I don't tout NYC everyday, you must be confused by me correcting your false information about the city. The tout title goes to you sir. I'm on this site to learn information.
Lol at your roommate ideology. Of coarse it coming from you probably equated to false rather then truth. I'm actually surprised you didn't say people in NYC don't sleep with 10 roommates.
And for god sakes please don't ever talk about homeless people when your location says L.A.
What the hell kind of comment is that about homeless people? Are you that ignorant? What is wrong with you?
Soo....are you contributing anything meaningful to my comments or are you just playing the NYC-style smoke and mirrors game once again? Please tell me how it's possible to not live **** poor on a starting salary in NYC? What are the secrets?
And yes, I'll take my car in a heartbeat over your slow and lazy union worker run MTA system.

My comment answered your rant precisely. Comprehension issues? Looks like it.
Oh and same here I rather drive my car here in New York then get stuck on a smog infested congested highway for hours. (L.A)
But it does help that I have the luxury of the MTA when traffic has an off day. .
Is it any surprise that the two most hostile posters are from NYC and LA and can't stand the other? Please continue your p-match by DM. Thanks. Anyways, that should tell the millenials (and anyone else as well) two of the cities to avoid. That is actually a valuable thing, so a thank you (oddly) goes out to both Freshflakes757 and nycjowww. This is how you can expect to be treated in those two cities.
OK, I should have directed that last post only toward the two posters in the p-match (don't care if one is the OP...it was getting silly), rather than an over-generalization about LA and NYC (though I still think disrespect is a little more common in the larger cities). In every city you will find some friendly people. It is easier in some than others.
Maybe we can talk about some other cities with more class than was expressed in posts 55-65. Not trying to do the mods job, but they obviously were not reading this thread; they can't be everywhere with all the posts on city data, right?
Bogus list. I would think DC, all of the Texas cities, Denver, Minneapolis. Places where there are jobs are where melinnials are going to thrive.

Chicago is becoming more and more white collar so its placing on the list makes sense to me.
Bluefox pretty much nailed it. If you're looking for the blue collar occupations that Chicago was known for in the past, then you're in trouble, but quite a lot of white collar occupations that require a bachelor's or some sort of graduate degree are doing quite well.
On a side note though, does anyone know how they picked the representative colleges? The selection of DePaul for Chicago seems odd to me.
Also, I probably would have picked Lakeview for Chicago's neighborhood. There's a lot of transplants there, especially from Big 10 schools, and it's cheaper than Wicker.

IIRC, Depaul has a good business school, no?
The selections for the neighborhoods seems completely off. Like I said, "Palms" for LA is absolutely ridiculous.

NYCer's can be uptight and dumb bullies (hence the other poster.) I was simply defending myself since he has nothing to do but troll my posts.
