    None of it matters. The fact that we have the superior variety of Pizza makes up for all of the crackhead attacks and hooker stabbings. Suck it, Pizza Hut gobblers.

    I don't get the allure of NYC either, or any apartment living for that matter. I own a house, and it is surrounded by an 8 foot tall privacy fence with a smaller pickett fence that backs up to a nature conservancy. I like to keep weird hours and can blast music or a video game at 4 am without people swearing at me. I am able to have DOGS that can come and go as they please through our dog doors. Can't have any of that in an apartment. I don't get how people can live where the only privacy they have is in a few tiny rooms with the windows closed because if you open them people are looking into your home.

    @Alluvian: You like to keep weird hours and blast music or video games at 4 in the morning, but don't understand the appeal of NY? Well, golly gee willikers.

    Also, I think you watch too many TV-based depictions of NYC.

    People can say want they want about this place. I was forced to leave NYC when my mother moved us to some suburb somewhere and I just couldn't stand it. I had to return. Any kind of person you could ever want to meet is right here. Anything you want to do can be done. You don't need a car to go places. Everything you want is a short ride away. Each neighborhood is like it's own city within a city and because of that, there are many different experinces to be had. I can go on and on. The point is, NY isn't just about angry dude douches douching everything up. It's a nice addictive place to be.

    @Dr. Evil Genius: You will never have the privacy of a backyard, freedom from nosy neighbors and next-door noise and all the other benefits of living in a separate house on your own land. One day you might realize the benefits, though at a certain age I know it's difficult.

    @Bandit: That's a matter of opinion, though. I've lived in the suburbs my whole life and now own a home in the 'burbs. I would love to give NYC a try, just for the reasons that Dr. Evil Genius gives. I'm kinda sick of the b.s. that goes along with owning a home.

    @Bandit: freedom from nosy neighbors? That a luxury NO ONE has unless you're a hermit living in a cave but sooner or later, an anthropologist will find you and he/she will have a probe in hand!

    Not to mention living in a smaller area, EVERYONE in town knows your business - people here in the city mind their own business for the most part.

    My beginning to life was exceedingly difficult so the important thing to me is health, safety, and survival. I am 26 and was born here and lived here most of my life and I feel safer here than anywhere else.

    I like the Midtown buildings that are full at night. I guess that's the NY Times working on the paper and maybe some law firms where a lot of people work through the night.

    "I love NYC to bits".... someone PLEASE enlighten me. I have lived a few places in the US, and traveled to all but Maine and Alaska for work. I have never met more rude people to deal with than those from in and around NYC. Even as far a CT. People are pushy, impatient and unforgiving of even the slightest delay or change.
    I currently sell product over the internet to high end car owners, and NYC (and surrounding) stands out from anywhere in the world as the hardest people to get along with and the ruddest customers of all.
    Why do people like NYC so much? Why are the people so rude and impatient?

    @ClaireGabura: I live in NY for a while, and agree that the people are rude. But they are actually not as rude as people from Colorado. Maybe it's that lack of good air. Colorado is clean but high altitude, and NY is Sea Level but smoggy.

    I read that at 8:30AM on any given weekday, the NY City Transit system is carrying about 800,000 passengers, and that it transports 7M people per day. That is a lot of sweaty people.

    @DeusExMach: I play with my screen name more...: ...and somehow, we find a way to do it - while having the lowest crime-rate of any big city in this country. I have seen in more rural areas drivers going crazy beating the crap out of each other. When you really think about it, everyone is generally the same everywhere.

    If you're talking about rural areas in the Boston-NYC-D.C. Megapolis... those aren't really rural areas. They're suburban farms.
