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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

the only thing Orlando and LA have in common is that they're hot and they're 100% sprawl

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

NYC is a literal garbage island and smells accordingly, substantially worse than every city in the northeast US and also Chicago.
