New York: Haven't been there. My mother lived there. Would visit but would never live there based on historically negative vicarious experiences I've had through friends, family, and acquaintances. There are 1000's of better places to live in the U.S.
LA: Haven't been there.
San Francisco: Visited for awhile and was about to move there but... my one word conclusion about SF: D R U G S.
Chicago: Haven't been there. No desire to check it out.
Philly: Haven't been there. Hope to check it out someday.
Boston: Self-righteous ****s. That's it. Shut the **** up Bostonians.
Atlanta: The black version of everything enlightened white people hate about white people. Materialistic and fake. Wouldn't live there if you paid me.
Dallas: Arrogant AND ignorant. What a combo.
San Diego: Gay, in every possible connotation.
Seattle: Depressed. Lived there for many years. Wouldn't recommend it unless you're planning a suicide attempt.
Portland: Fake. Fake. Fake. Fake people annoy me. The rest of Oregon is real btw. Wonderful state actually.
DC: The prism of American Dream creation, greed, and corruption.
Gawd, after this I'm reconsidering my previous plans of moving to Canada! Christ!
Bonus points for reviving a thread 812 days later, especially as your first post....... but...... you really need to spend a bit more time in Southern California. Something about San Diego (even Hillcrest) does not exactly scream "gay". And I also really cannot decipher what you mean about a "prism" of creation, greed and corruption.
These stereotypes don't reflect my personal opinions/preconceptions. Frankly, I've found most of these stereotypes to be complete and utter bullsh** in my experience. Or at best, outdated. This is just mainly what I hear most from others as well as see frequently on this site. OK, here goes...
New York - Overcrowded, dirty (extremely outdated stereotype), overly expensive (true), superior in every category
LA - Plastic, fake, shallow, gang-ridden, blonde, suburban
San Francisco - Snooty, uber-liberal, full of freaks, dominated by gay culture, impossible to drive in
Chicago - Cold, windy, violent, sports-obsessed
Philly - Dirty, dangerous, decaying, belligerent
Boston - Ivy League, Irish, snooty, provincial
Atlanta - Nouveau-riche, traffic-congested, New South, Black
DC - Transient, stressed out, expensive, career-obsessed, yuppie-dominated
Addendum: Here are a few more cities, not on this list, that I often hear stereotypes about. Once again, this is mainly what I hear and read, and in no way reflects my opinions...
Houston - everyone is fat, smells like petrochemicals, humid (true), dangerous, car-obsessed
San Diego: Full of mouthy drunks that live near a pretty beach
Minneapolis: "Really nice people" that are a bunch of cold back stabbers especially in the work place. Passive aggressive. Mostly miserable Scandinavians blooded.
NYC: Overly aggressive, direct, honest, engrossed in pro-union and organized crime related activities
Houston: A big polluted sprawl where everyone is miserable and overweight
Phoenix: A bunch of Midwest transplants that play golf all the time and are pro desert
Los Angeles: Fake, expensive cars, polluted, palm trees on fire, gangs, plastic surgery
