Yo dude what is your issue with me? Your nothing more than an internet thug/bully. Jump off my ****. i have been to dozens of cities across the U.S and will be visiting two more this year again. And no I dont visit tourist spots. Im a very brave dude and not afraid to talk and hang with locals. Open your eyes my friend. also the Bronx has improved substantially in recent years. yoy seem to have a vendefta against me. Why dont you respond to hundreds of posts i made on city data. You have no life. Why dont you hop off my nuts you troll before you ruin the Gothamist reputation.
Posting around like some butthurt idiot might have something to do with it. Not to mention with the English skills of a chimpanzee. Just because you probably live in some run down area in Bronx you idiotically making assumption your Upper East Side millionaire or some rich young professional in Manhattan has the same quality of life as you. Then again, you try to defend the Bronx and are butthurt about other things like the airport, which is just weird. So maybe the butthurt is really about the wealthy who are actually financially capable of enjoining the good parts of NYC. And find better insults than you have no life. It sounds like tears are coming out of your eyes when you say things like that.
The central areas of London (AFAIk this is usually taken to mean the area bounded by kensington to the west, shoreditch to the east, the area around regents park to the north and the south bank) are definitely cleaner than Manhattan. There's absolutely no question of this. Even the ghettoish parts of central London around the east end aren't that bad though the infrastructure there is outdated.
A disclaimer here is that this is based on observations since the middle of 2013. It's possible that it may not always have been this clean in the past. Without going too much into demographics, it definitely does feel like more of central London has areas where all you find are luxury apartments and shops when you compare it with the upscale areas of Manhattan. This is not necessarily a good thing.
What do you exactly mean by "Central London" than? The most upscale neighborhoods of London? If so, that's far from the equivalent of Manhattan. It's too small for that. It's the equivalent of the most upscale neighborhoods of Manhattan which are quite clean as well. Which Lodndon has less of btw. London doesn't want to be going this route with NYC because it will lose. Anybody who keeps up with the stats is well aware that NYC has considerably more wealthy people and therefore more wealthy areas by default. There are non wealthy parts in the London core and as well as dirty parts. The dirty parts that aren't "that bad" are also WAY less vibrant than Manhattan ones.
Why is that? It's a big city with a booming economy, well educated civilized population, excellent infrastructure (and one of the best international airports in the world), big tech hubs and vibrant nightlife. I don't see why it should be excluded.
By your line of thinking, Atlanta is on the same level as London. Seoul doesn't belong in this it's too damn puny in without much going on in comparison.

We have a troll in our midst. Obviously you are Gothamist right?

If you want to make an authoritative claim on the residential real estate profile of London, you don't start your comment by professing your ignorance of London's geography because it makes the rest of your comment difficult to take seriously.
This isn't some contest about which city has more luxury real estate, where a city with the most luxury real estate "wins". There are problems that follow from too much concentration of high end housing.

Incoherent nonsense. If we're concerned about the infrastructure in New York City, we can look to examples from any other bustling first world city for ideas in how to improve it.
Even before the snow NY was bad with roads. NY is the largest city in America and even Albany has learned how to build 10 lane freeways.
Those who support liberal democrats have no business even raising this subject or complaining about it. As long as the city is managed by such garbage, allowing public union employees to oversee corrupt, greedy contractors paying under the table bribes to get road contracts with zero oversight, NYC will continue to have the worst roads on earth.
Giuliani for all his flaws, put all of them on notice, and the roads improved significantly under his mayoralty. DiBozo cannot pander enough to the liberals and city employees, so the roads will remain horrible until he is mercifully voted out of office.

You probably live in some poor ghetto bombed out community in Bronx having too miserable of life to notice positives and going out of your way to look for negative things and making things up when you can't find any. It's so bad that you have to look for just any random smear articles off a google search to look for support. See.
You failed to tell us anything about how other large cities are better in anyways and have such "world class" infrastructure. Most likely due to the fact you just don't know anything about them and it's too much effort to do a google search about other cities just to rant about NYC.

Some people still like to complain about trash bags being stored around the sidewalks but I don't get how that's such a big problem.
Most of the dirty areas of NYC are in the poor communities in Bronx and parts of Brooklyn. London has it's share of those too.
Sorry but that just sounds very fanboy to me. So Central London doesn't have it's working and middle class population? I don't buy that for a second. Manhattan has more rich people than Central London and even it has them.

Welcome to a REAL city. Go to any of them and it's the same depending on the size and activity level. Go to Roppongi or Shinjuku in Tokyo or the rough part of East London and try telling me it's considerably less dirty than the dirty parts of NYC.
Cityguy and Gothamist are the same person. Nothing more than just some idiotic trolls and online elitist thugs. Go get a life fella.
Which other city is as congested and is as populated as NYC? If you check the out skirts of the outer boroughs, are they as bad as the more central areas?
NYC roads are a reflection of the traffic this city has to deal with on a daily basis. Ive seen roads which were paved in 2012 look like crap now. Why? Traffic.
