Reply to comment by DylonNotNylon in Pride flag set on fire outside NYC restaurant by QuicklyThisWay

I’ve always found New Yorkers silly. Why live in one of the most expensive, diverse, and densely populated cities in the world if you don’t like people?

Reminds me of a joke from Crocodile Dundee:

"That's incredible. Imagine seven million people all wanting to live together. Yeah, New York must be the friendliest place on earth."

The funny thing about a city like New York is that you actually have more privacy walking down a street with a half million other people than you have in a rural town.

No one in New York cares about you even enough to notice you. They walk past Naked Singing Cowboy without a sideward glance.

Neither does anyone who looks where they're walking. What's your point?

Fewer people outside NYC. If you don’t like constant crowds don’t pay a premium to live in them.

Is that clear enough or does Reddit need a Crayola font for you
