Stop sniffing paint it makes your mind stop working. I can't stand Transplant New Yorkers that come from other cities and live in NYC and try to bash New York go home if you don't like it. We don't want you here anyway. To many out of town clowns like this one in New York City.

BTW: I've been to NYC often and Philly often - the cities are not comparable and both are wonderful in their own rights.

I know these are old post I am replying too but I got to set the record straight. Elmhurst is in Queens NYC not NJ what are you talking about? Please stay on the farm you'll do better in life at home.

PC1: Yooooooo....I just got back from the strip jawn off Spring Garden...that jawn was craaaaaazy! I was like "whatdaheezy!" I hit the jawn up after I had left this other jawn out in West with these young bulls. You don't know what you missin, ak [In classic Philadelphia fashion, there is a lot of pausing, change in intonation, hand gesticulations, funny faces and tapping of body parts during conversation. I think we all get it from the Italians or something].

PC2: So you tap sumtin up in there fam?

PC1: Come on, ak. You know a true gentleman don't hit and tell [or something funny].

Typcial conversation with someone from NYC:

NY1: What's good, kid? It's mad brick out here, yo.

NY2: Yeah yo. It is brick out here, son. Yo son, did you hear about these cats from Philly trying to stunt. Don't they know we from BROOKLYN!!!!

NY1: Yeah son! We from BROOKLYN!!! Do or Die Bed-Stuy. Mean Fort Greene. Mean Hook Red Hook. Yeah son! Brooklyn!!!

NY2: Son, these cats just don't know. Ain't nobody messin with NYC! We da best! We don't need game to pull chicks or jokes or nuthin' like that. We just go to a place like Atlanta, turn up our accents, wear Yankee caps, and tell people to back the f*** up. And if they wanna step, they best to know that they going against my whole borough, son!! The 7-1-8 son!!! The home of Biggie and Jay, son!!!! Brook, Brook, Brook, BROOKLYN!!!!!

And that is why New Yorkers are the most annoying people on earth.

Gets this threw your head New Yorkers are more rude then people from Philly. New York is known for being the most rude and aggressive city in the world not the city of brotherly love philly. Your embarssing yourself with this ghetto jibrasssh.... Understand son or homie or whatever type of gangstar you think you are.

New Yorkers are more fast paced then anybody in the country, also known for working harder then evey other part of country. Eveybody is all worked up and going 100 miles per hour evey minute. New Yorkers are the weathliest people and the most successful as well. So how are New Yorkers slower than the rest of the normal population. Going from NYC down to Philly is like taking a trip to the country to go cherry picking. In Philly you guys always move slow, slower then NYC or Jersey (North and upper Central) infact when I am in Philly its feels like being in Atlanta or a southern city. Your the slow one Pal infact your whole city is slow and your are too..

Some issues I have with new york...

1. It attracts the type of people who will spend every single dollar they can find on rent. So you have to unnecessarily outbid them.
2. It does not have proper competition. If you want just urban living, then you have choices. You can choose the one that best fits you for the price that is cheapest. But if you want urban living with the dynamics that come with being as large as NYC, then you have to buy from the monopoly holder.
