this thread has been up for a couple of days and It already has 153 replies so by replying your only making the statement more true as of why is nyc the most talked about city in city vs city.
I live 4 blocks west of the beach. I pay $1,100 in rent for a 1 bedroom. People living downtown or anywhere along the lakefront can walk or bike to the beach. I'm only talking about Chicago here.
There are beaches in every borough. I dont understand what you living four blocks from the beach have to do with anything. Someone can live four blocks or 1 block or two blocks or 12 blocks from a beach in new york too.What are you saying
How is the number of people an excuse for cleanliness? NYC is a dirty city. Lets be real here.
Common sense should tell any citizen of planet earth that nyc is not going to be mr clean,fantastic,ajax what have you, clean. Its a big dense city of 8 mill why would anyone expect it too be clean. Im not making a case for it, nyc can be dirty as hell. But for someone to come here and complain about it is weird. Like you didnt do your homework?
Low to moderate rent? Compared to where? Would you want to live in any of these low rent areas? How much of your paycheck goes to rent and how much goes to entertainment?
lmao because all 8 mill are paying 2000 a month to live here. All new yorkers just work no play. Be giving mcdonald happy meal toys to our kids for christmas, f..k it, its a recession
I threw the House scene in there just to show that certain cities excel in certain aspects. New York is not big on the house scene. Techno is not house. They are two completely different animals. House Music is a culture in itself.
Does that satisfy you to know that. Im sure house is played in one of dem clubs, somewhere. Thats like someone from dc laughing at us because we dont have a gogo scene. lol. Thats just not what we do in new york, thats ya thing. Why would you expect new york to have a big house scene, house is a chicago/midwest thing. Like come on
NYC has a GREAT music scene. I'd say the best in the country. But House Music and Country music aren't its strong points.
We might be lacking in a amount of bingo halls aswell, how you going to sit there,calling yourself making a list and forget that. New york gotta step our ,bingohall, game up
It's not a joke. Its to show you that despite what you may believe. NYC is not the best at everything.
Never said it was
Did I mention 4 seasons at all? Not once. I said WARM WEATHER YEAR ROUND. Once again, if people want warm weather year round, maybe NYC won't be their 1st choice.
365 days with no change, how un new york of it...jk
There's not much laid back about NYC. Maybe way out in the outer boroughs but that would still be considered fast paced to a majority of the country.
Certain pockets where you wouldnt even know your in the city, if its that serious too u. City island for one
I mean that NYC is not really a jeans and t-shirt culture. It's the fashion capital of the country. This has a lot to do with it. For a lot of people, fashion is not that high up on their priority list.
Ya we have fashion police out here kinda like a subdivision of the nypd, they just added that s..t, said too many ppl from the midwest messing up our style had to dead it. Come outside walking to your local bodega with just a tee and jeans if you want too. U getting put on blast. They gone give you a H AND M GIFT certificate
I do not know why it is so hard for some people (especially southerners) to accept and admit that New York City is the largest most important city in America with international acclaim.
What southerners said it wasn't? We're just saying that most of these NYC threads are started by NY'ers, and the ones that aren't are usually vs threads started by the person from the city that NYC is going up against.
And I don't know why it is so hard for some people (especially New Yorkers) to accept that New York City is not everyone's Mecca. I don't think anyone's arguing its not among the most important and influential cities. But not everyone has a desire to live there, people are happy in their smaller cities, suburbs and rural areas. I don't see why people have to bring it up no matter how little the city pertains to the discussion. I don't get how NYC is the only place with culture. I don't get why (insert topic here) is automatically superior because its in NYC. I don't know what makes NYC a real city as opposed to say Orlando. I don't get how having a car is a bad thing. And for the life of me I don't get how a poster says how great something in their city is, is challenging your city.
Exactly. No one criticizes NYC, it's the mention of OTHER cities that makes them attack. Who criticizes NYC besides LAnightmare? It's unprovoked attacks.

Geez, I go overseas for 2 weeks and there's like 2 really long pointless threads about NYC. But I can't complain, lol. I guess NYC is discussed the most because it's most liked on the forum. Good to be home in NY, by the way
