Yo realtalk, New York may be the worst city ever

Screen-Shot-2014-02-28-at-5.01.01-PM.png
 
Im born and raised in BK, left in '06 and moved to MD. I wouldn't say it is the worst city ever, especially since I haven't had the pleasure to visit all of them. What I will say is the allure and appeal weared off after a few years being out here. Reality set in and showed me that NYC isn't all its cracked up to be. Many things that we overlook living there, turns me off when I go back to visit.


OP isn't too far off, but I wouldn't call it the worst. I would say it isn't as appealing as it has been portrayed to be, but what city is?

as bad as that day was, it showed you how tough NY is, yet compassionate and resilient.
No other city in the US can handle what NY been through. And for that reason alone, NY will always be #1

Thats just ignorance bro. Yea, NYC had to deal with the tragedy of 9/11, but it's not the only city that had to go through rough times.

BTW, if you like the city life and beautiful women, come to Toronto. You'll thank me.

I've had the experience of living in NYC to suburbia to living in the rural of rural of a town of 2800 people in the middle of the mountains where coyotes and bears live in your backyard on the PA, WV, MD borders. Those experiences made me appreciate NYC that much more.


NYC > ______

The tall buildings are annoying, I feel entrapped. I from the DC area so we got city and suburbs but NYC it seems like its just city and nothing for 500 miles. Not my kind of living, I'd be lost as **** too. It's a nice place to visit, live? Naw

the height restrictions of the District (not talking about VA or MD) is what holds it back from being considered a "world class city"...

there is lots of money to be made from the massive amount of corporate entities that have offices around the area, but these companies often choose NoVA and MD for their offices...Congress loves to restrict the interest of tax payers that reside in the District to maintain the sorely outdated height restriction policy :smh:

Think about it, the nations capital and the residence of the nations leader is in DC. Do you really want to foreshadow it with a Big Biz skyscrapper. Not to mention the massive national security risk.

If New Orleans was set up the way NY is, it would need that much help

You cant even compare Katrina to 9/11
I don't even know why it was even brought up

bruh big business has BEEN here and isnt leaving...the Chamber of Commerce is practically across the street from the White House

and for the security risk, there have been proposals (not that Congress will listen to any of them
mean.gif
), that have included ways to preserve the "scenery" and take into consideration security details...low rise skyscrapers could easily be put in Navy Yard, NoMa (north of certain streets), or the SW waterfront without much risk to the WH or Capitol...

nobody is saying to "canyonize" DC like Manhattan or downtown Chicago have been, but the current height limits are a joke..."130 feet, or the width of the right-of-way of the street or avenue on which a building fronts, whichever is shorter," that means no building can roughly go over 10 or so stories

I remember the city after 9/11. **** was bad but at least we had a city.

Theirs was literally washed away. There really is no comparison.

NY tough but we ain't the only tough city in America.
