Which City has the Most Elitist Residents (job, restaurant, states)

What about LA? I hear the people there are stuck up and snobbish.

What a rude thread.

LOL @ NY'ers attempting to get themselves off the hook with the "transplant" angle. Out of town types who have moved to NYC certainly take the stereotype to a new level, but lets not act like natives are not obnoxiously overly self important in their own right. Delusions of grandeur run rampant in NYC. I've met NY'ers from vinyl sided rowhouse, middle of nowhere important, outer borough nothingness, who actually think they are worth more as a human being because they are from Rego Park, Queens!

[eek]

speaking on that very subject, the outer boroughs have things going on in their own right.
manhattan isn't the end all be all of NYC and it irks me when somebody "from" manhattan looks down on those of us from "the outer boroughs."

some of the neighborhoods in the outer boroughs are on par with what you would find in manhattan anyway. obviously we have the 1 up on sports (mets in queens, yankees in bx, nets soon to be in bk, weak ass knicks (but we ARE getting melo, forget what you heard) in manhattan).

the outer boroughs have a 1 up on culture as well.

I agree with you all the boroughs are what makes NYC. So every borough has something to offer.

Elitists are like heavy traffic....you may not like it, but if your city doesn't have them...something is wrong with your city.

Knowing a city is better than another (or the rest) doesn't necessarily make one an elitist.

It's called knowledge and enlightenment.

This post illustrates so well what it's trying to argue against.
