United States - July 2007

I know it's an oxymoron, but have you? Do tell.

I have had countless near misses driving in my overcrowded city.

I am visiting NYC the day after labor day for a week in the first part of September. Its my 3rd visit, however, the first time during September. I am afraid its going to be warm and humid. Are there any locals that can provide further insight? Will it at least cool off at night enough to wear a blazer/jacket. NYC locals only please.....

I used to live in Brooklyn as a little kid, and my parents don't know which neighborhood we lived in. I lived in the section of Ocean Avenue that is close to Avenue N - if you know which neighborhood that's considered, please solve this life-long mystery.

Anyone know of a good list of apartments in Las Vegas? I need links to the complexes websites too. The usual guides (you know who) suck.

For those who still think the NYC is the greatest city on earth, I'd like you to reconsider. May be you've never traveled outside the US, I don't blame you. Most American think that USA is the whole world. I want you to open your eyes on some other corners of the world. I can compare it to a few Asian cities I've been to: San Francisco, Buffalo, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore (country), Taipei (Taiwan):

1. Transportation: NYC has the oldest subway system, trains are small, smelly, dirty and very bad on schedule. When I lived there, I got stuck in the train at least once per week. Compare this to Hong Kong, where the subway system is clean, accurate and fast. If the subway has problems and bring a 10 minutes delay, it will become headlines on next day's paper already. NYC - lose.

2. Sanitation: Most of the city area are full of trash, trash cans are full all the time without cleaning. Subway tracks are full of rats and trash, subway walkway sometimes filled with the smell of urine. In Singapore, you can hardly find ONE trash on the street. NYC - lose.

3. Crime rate: NYC became much much safer these years (thanks to NYPD), but many high schools are still very scary. High school students bring in knives and guns to school, I just wouldn't want my kids to go to any public school in NYC. Compare to Taiwan, where there has been 0 killing at high schools in the past 15 years. NYC - lose.

4. Communications: In Tokyo, people are using 3G, 4G cell phones to watch TVs and have face-face conferences with friends already, while NY-ers are still doing text message, and the worse thing is that there is no cell phone signal in subway!! What the hell~~ NYC - BIG lose.

5. Shopping: NYC has great shopping, but it also comes with 8.75% taxes, while Hong Kong has a no-tax-at-all shopping environments on almost everything (except for cigarette and gas). NYC - lose.

6. Museum and Arts: NYC is the place for museum and arts and no place can compare (not sure about Euro cities), so NYC - win.

7. Traffic: Most big cities have traffic problems, but NYC roads are the worst in the US. NY drivers are well trained with avoiding holes, compare to San Francisco, and any other city in the States, NYC - lose.

8. Housing: With $250K, what can you buy in NYC? A 500 sq ft apt? Or a shitty house at Halem? With $250K, I can already afford a 2000 sq ft house in Buffalo with a forrest behind and river view in the front: NYC - lose.

NYC is definitely a great city to work in, to visit, but it is NOT a great city to live in. People, please open your eyes, stop saying NYC is the greatest city on earth for God sake. That will only show your ignorance.

You get a credit card unlimited balance, and a backpack of anything you want. You can not stay in any domestic businesses or use any public, rented or your own transportation. You may not bribe or pay for rides. You will travel from The coast of Maine to the coast of California. Could you do it?

My husband and I are going at the end of September for our 5th anniversary to San Francisco and Monterey. I prettymuch have an idea what to do in Monterey, but besides Golden Gate bridge, alcatraz, wharf, and cable cars, what else can we do in SF to make the 2 day stay worth while?

I am a Visual/Media Arts major from Emerson College in Boston. I've lived in a CT all my life, and have been to NY many times. Many of my friends are L.A. bound, but I'm not comfortable leaving everything I know 3,000 miles away. I'm talented, and I'd rather do NY for film/video/audio, but is there enough visual/media work in NYC?
