New York City has more charm than you'd expect once you get out of Midtown and some of the popular tourist areas. I didn't used to like New York City as much as when I was younger, but it's grown on me. There really is more going on, and more to explore and the city keeps going and going in a way cities like Boston or Philly don't. If you like that sort of thing, it's worth it. It is dirty, but I don't find that big of a deal.
The traffic is of course bad, but that's why there are trains.
Eh I prefer clean cities and communities. Just a pet peeve of mine I suppose. I can't look past stuff like that and NYC is glaring when it comes to litter and dirtiness.
I may be critical of NYC, but it definitely has its nice areas and is fun to visit for a night out and change of pace.
I don't really care for NYC either, for a variety of reasons. It has its nice/interesting parts, but much of it is just "ugh" to me, and it's always been that way.
Exactly. I hate small houses and the reason why people buy inner city houses is to look rich and cosmopolitan.
Get with it and buy a big massive suburban house. I use my money where it is valued.
People buy inner-city houses and flats because the countryside is boring and there is nothing to do beyond tipping cows. Cities have always been centres of culture & sophistication, while rural dwellers are usually considered dimwitted - friendly but simple-minded, parochial, inward-looking. Kind of like yourself.
It's why house prices in NI are so low - mostly rural, crap links to major cities for work & recreation, nothing fun to see or do.

What's the point of all that space? Hoard stuff? I grew up in a big suburban house, whenever I go home I don't see the benefit of it. Perhaps people buy inner city homes because they like being in the city.

Suburbs are very inefficient and can be wasteful (utilities, gasoline, etc.), but they definitely have their benefits. Fresh air, trees, green space, etc. Cities may have small sections of this, but it's not as widespread as in some suburban and rural areas.
They have pluses and minuses, I was referring more to the size of a home.
