The view:
That’s like, actually a beautiful view though. The actual view is more like:
Totally disagree that it's beautiful, lol. To me it looks like a smoggy choked out hellscape. Of all the cities I've been to, New York is the one I disliked the most, bar none.
It really depends on the city. That view in particular, yeah, it's kinda depressing. I think the skylines of the DPRK's big cities are beautiful, though. No advertising, colorful buildings, lots of public art, clean streets, clean air.
I take it you've never been to LA?
LA and East Coast LA (Orlando) are far and away the worst cities I’ve ever been in. Hell calling Orlando a city is a stretch.
Calling Orlando east coast LA is generous. How about east coast OC
the only thing Orlando and LA have in common is that they're hot and they're 100% sprawl
Ok you got me there, never been to the West Coast and I'd probably hate LA from what I've heard about it
90% of it looks like that stroad picture I posted
NYC usually isn't smoggy
Chicagoan here, u wot m8?
Yes I liked Chicago more than New York. Not my favorite city but my visit there didn't stress me out nearly as much. This would be shocking to fox news enjoyers, but I didn't have a single bad interaction there. Meanwhile in New York it seemed like everyone wanted to beat me up, lol.
I like NYC but this is a large part of why I could never live there. Northerners are the fucking worst, why are you all so hostile all the time, why can’t you just be friendly?
NYC is a literal garbage island and smells accordingly, substantially worse than every city in the northeast US and also Chicago.
