Reply to comment by STREAMOFCONSCIOUSN3S in New York Times says we are nice place by Charlesinrichmond

New York is an incredibly myopic city, some lifelong citizens there view it like Europeans view their capital cities, as the lens through which the rest of the world is to be viewed.

Which is weird to me because NYC is an extreme outlier as far as American cities go. It's like 10 cities mushed together.

I lived in NYC for 15 years before moving to Richmond 2 months ago. I've asked many people there where they would like to retire or which city they would prefer moving to if they could move anywhere and often I get a look like I have two heads. Why would you live anywhere other than New York?

With 10 cities worth of garbage dumped on top to blow around in the wind.
