Proclaiming how especially 'fast paced' they are compared to the rest of the country is an outdated stereotype that Northeasterners love to repeat...maybe goes back to the late 1800s idk.
The silliest statements are about how much faster they walk on sidewalks then everyone else. LMAO.
Like so what? No one cares? Ps it's not really true.
And there is nothing slow paced about the urban cores of Los Angeles or Chicago or San Francisco; get a grip.

That's not to say that other large urban centers are necessarily slow-paced, but that being fast-paced is a characteristic the Northeastern big cities in particular share.
That said, if I were a big city Westerner, I wouldn't really care even if the implication was that we were slow-paced since the West is typically portrayed as being less career-obsessed and "go go go" and having more of a work/life balance. That has historically been one of its biggest selling points.

Well, that and I dont see this increased hurriedness that others claim. I have lived in NYC and it is a very busy city but I dont recall mass speedwalking...lol
New York is the only city I've seen people routinely eating while walking (which is not a good thing). Everywhere else just seems to have a lot of people doing what they do.

I haven't seen it either. They don't walk any faster than people anywhere who knows where they're trying to get to.
I’d say the pace of life is faster in the DC area.
