If you're on a 4 train that space is cut to 1 1/2 centimeters lol. I go between NY and L.A. A lot now. I can't stand the confinement in NY now. I need SPACE. In L. A., even on the metro, I have more space. And more sunshine. And it's warm
****. Winter.

Very cool link. Seems like NYC, Boston, LA, San Fran, Chicago, Philly, and Miami seem to be the most mentioned on that list. Great list of cities to avoid if you like space.

Because of the diversity of the residents, I think it's inversely proportional.
