some people like chicago and some like nyc. JUst like how people are moving from both cities to the south. People have preferences. I mean come on this question is just dumb im sorry.
When did Chicago get 20 inches of snow this year and WHEN did I act like it happens all of the time?
Your previous post. And why does it have to be this year? We average about 17" more of snow than New York City does. And for you to bring it up as if it's significant to a yearly occurrence is obscene.

You are misunderstanding the post. I said that Chicago rarely gets 20 inches of snow at one time or in one storm. I wasn't talking about the entire season. Meaning, they hardly get a storm like that in a 24-36 hour period. Hell, I don't think there is any city in the country that gets this all the time and I brought it up because he ridiculed a city for struggling with 20 plus inches of snow at one time when Chicago would have struggled themselves with a storm like that.
You are wrong. There is no such thing as preference. You are little more than an extension of me and that is a fact.
It is prefrence. If I Prefer to live in Miami and not NYC that's my preference and if..I feel Miami is better that's my opinion no matter what facts are thrown at me and that's how some people think.. There are alot of things Nyc doesn't offer that some places do and they can use those reasons to say there city may be better, because of things they prefer a city to have.

Hmmmm are you one of those NYers that are like Fat Joe that talks down on NY, after NY made him? Or are you a person that is trying to portray that is from NY just to bash NY? HMMM..... Chicago better than NY? Ha! that's a joke. Why do you go to NYC then if you don't like NY? Many people dream to be in NYC than to be in Chicago.
Umm, it sounded like a relatively even-handed post by a person who just didn't like living in NYC. Maybe I'm getting tricked by a bizarro-dementor...but until I see some outrageous bias from him, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
I personally prefer NYC to Chicago, but absolutely love Chicago and totally understand why some people prefer it over New York (cheaper, less congrested, less pretentious). Different strokes for different folks. I don't understand why if someone says they prefer something over NYC, some NY forumers act like they've just received a golden shower (posters like Oy & Infamous are notable exceptions, among others)...as if people like other cities because they hate that forumer personally.
In a quantitative-based comparison (bigger, stronger, more important, etc, etc), obviously New York City owns. However, not everyone wants to be in the biggest, most crowded place. Hopefully someday people will understand that.
