I've seen the pictures. It doesn't intrigue me. There's nothing about it that scares me I'm just not easily impressed by pompous and arrogance.

It won't miss you. It doesn't miss anybody. It will never even know you existed. The greatest thing about it is the people you might run into from every corner of the earth and what you might experience on any given day. But it is populated by millions of people that are like you...just so you know. Manhattan is just one borough and Times Square, Lincoln Center, and Rockefeller Center and Central Park are just a drop in the bucket for tourists and local workers. There are millions of working class regular joes that are good people just trying to get along and live a life. But I can't tell you anything new... you've seen the pictures.

And some city folk have a similar, retarded view of rural America. It’s honestly funny.

True.

Bro, there's literally (as in the literal meaning of the word literally) a poster in this very thread saying that he would never go there.

So what? That's his choice, isn't it? The city ain't what it used to be.

If you want to use the word literally, then let's do that. You claimed that only a few posters, which is three or four, have ever been to NYC. Did you mean that literally, or was it just condescending hyperbole? You also said that only a couple people have driven in Midtown Manhattan. Counting myself, do you literally believe only one other person has driven in NYC?

You're doing your usual thing, which is looking down your nose at other people like an a-hole. You live in NYC. So what, it doesn't make you special.

$25 bucks a day just to drive into the city is ridiculous. Yeah, let's tax the frick out of the poor and middle class some more. That will really improve things.

You are basing an entire city based on media portrayals.

No I'm basing it the posters in this thread that can not fathom the idea that someone would not awed and impressed with the same things they are.

What? You said you weren't impressed by 'pompous and arrogance.'

quote:

There was a time where I wanted to go to Los Angeles and San Diego and NYC but there is nothing about those places that interest me anymore. Those cities have gotten to the point that they are just awful with their governments and political BS

---

NYC is a great city to visit
LA sucks especially LA proper. I lived out there for a bit and all the actually cool stuff is outside of “LA”

San Diego is incredible.

This thread is about some measures meant to make nyc a less obscenely loud, congested, dangerous, dystopian hellscape lol.


A lot of yall are still against it




tOT: Cities are a fricking nightmare. So congested, dirty, cramped etc

“Ok let’s create a small handful of spaces that heavily disincentivize car usage in those spaces and see how it goes. It’s worked very well in other parts of the world to rejuvenate and redevelop urban areas and provides for WAY more space to operate for individuals”

tOT: No frick that liberal nonsense.

My god, something in you frickers is broken. You let media portrayals of places completely dominate your perspective. FWIW, NYC has a crime rate that is lower than the national average last time I looked, and the national average has been trending downward for a long time.

---

Having been in NYC for decades, I know that trick. They just don't charge for crimes that in Giuliani's day would have had them on Ryker's Island for months before trial.

I've never and I have no desire to ever.

I really enjoy visiting there.

They just keep doing stupid stuff that makes it difficult to want to return. Cool arse city though with great food.
