Default Fast paced friendly cities???
Are there any fast paced cities in the U.S. that you would consider "friendly?" I don't mind living in a somewhat faced paced area (it makes me feel productive) but I can definately live without the rudeness. Do such cities exist?

I'm sorry, i wouldn't consider st. louis very fast paced...friendly yes, but definately not fast paced. Medium-paced probably fits more, like baltimore.

Agreed. St. Louis is in a different category than fast-paced. IMO the truly fast-paced cities are NYC, L.A., Chicago, the rest are slower, if not by much.

Are you sure that LA is a fast-paced city?

L.A.'s freeways and traffic make it seem like a fast paced city, but people seem more mellow and slowed down compared to the east coast.

Compared to the East Coast?

The only city back there that seems faster than LA is NYC..all the others, nope.

Not to belittle the east coast, but it seems we get so hung up on this notion of "fast paced" without really defining what that means?

If its based on heavy traffic, well just about every city has that.

If we're talking about vibrant downtown streets, well, only a handful really qualify there.

Why are looking for a fast paced city? It's rare to find a fast paced city that's actually friendly.

There are only a handful of truly fast paced cities in the US: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, and probably DC. Other than that, i really can't think of other fast paced cities.

People are friendly in these cities, but not when they're moving at a fast paced. It's truly one for all in that kind of situation.
