I don't understand these East Coast bias accusations. Wouldn't it make complete sense that the most populous region in the US also have the largest number of posters on this forum? What is the bias in that aside from reality?
The city of Detroit will be gladly to swap with you. Hookers, drug dealers will return to Times Square while Woodward Ave in Detroit transforms into the place where families and other humans come to be safe, happy and party. Fancy areas of NYC will return back to there bombed out neighborhoods, While Brush Park in Detroit revitalizes with the streets filled with kids playing.
I have noticed that NYC is the most city that is talked about? Why is this?
-Is it that NYC has a big impact in the United States?
-Is it because NYC has to offer a lot?
I don't believe that everyone desires to live in NYC, but most realize that NYC is the greatest city in the country. Also one of the tops in the world and the absolute greatest city as far as I'm concerned.
If by greatest one means "largest in number" than yes New York City being greatest is simply factual. If "greatest" means "highest in quality" it might be more debatable, but NYC does come out fairly good for a large city.
San Jose, California is the only one I find near the top with about the same crime rate, slightly higher but with a lower violent crime rate, and a lower poverty rate than NYC.
The standard of what's a "city" here is so hard for me to figure I'm not sure it's a city. Also the one guy I knew from San Jose, although wealthy and eccentric, had some kids with drug problems.
