YOu can find any kind of food(maybe except Ny Style pizza) in Texas it just spread out, In Ny is just more accessible. You can find all the food restaurants on one street in Ny, instead of driving five miles in Texas. Same goes for Some Ca Regions.

Is this why people say Los Angeles is a giant suburb? Because of this mindset? That's nice that you prefer driving. But if you want your city to be sustainable in the future, you'd better invest in alternative mass transportation systems.

see to people like u ...its "suburban" or whatever but our mindset is different than a boring old east/south/midwest suburb...the pace is fast, everyones out for $$..blatant excess...fast cars...most diverse place i know(unlike other white washed "suburbs")...i love it

you have to be here to experience it ...theres like 17 million in this region , I'm sure youl lfit in somewhere

the celebs must all be suburban minded then huh? i'd rather live in a model city they prefer than some hokey old cold east town or midwest podunk place where joe schmoe stuffs his face with greasy pizza and hot dogs..


still i digress...Texas wins this I prefer the weather there and ability to drive ones sportscars without being on dumpy old streets filled with people from caribbean islands no one cares about like dominican republic and puerto rico

Your last part is really not needed but anyway. Yes. It is a suburban mindset. I see no way how community is overrated. Why woud like to spend your adult life behind the wonderful scent of someone's exhaust pipe for 45 min-2 hours every day? Can you all enjoy a night out on the town in a car? I'm going to guarantee at least one will not. How about taking a big group of people like your family to monuments, museums, or somewhere your city is famous for in multiple cars? Taking trains is much more easier for all of that. I'm not against cars btw. I like cars to take the occassional joyride or to get any goods such as groceries or furniture.

BTW, what midwest or east coast town stuffs their face down with greasy hot dogs and pizza all the time? I know New York and Chicago is famous for pizza or hot dogs. But they are also famous for other types of food. But this isn't about that. It's about Texas and NY State.

I know this your opinion and all but this is ridiculous. I mean not to call you a troll but this a troll statement. Examples bolded You are comparing LA(second biggest city in the US) to the average town. And by some of the statements you are targeting certain cities while hiding under the small town comparison. As Spade said NYC and Chicago are known for there hot dogs and pizza. And that comment about some dumpy old street looks like it was targeted towards NYC in Racism and Stereotypes. Lets assume that the average dumpy street is filled with Caribbean's and Hispanics. Just by this statement its seems that the average poor person in NYC is as rich as the average rich person in (insert name in of town/city of description). I mean LA is more trashy with its poor geography. You can tell the difference in the land. On the average NY street is so lush and crisp and fresh, grass and trees every wear. Many parts of LA actually has more concrete. Dont argue it doesnt cause according to the US government NYC uses nearly %50 of its land for parks more than most cities.
