Are there any respected scholarly articles that argue it is rational to continue to work in New York City?

As a New Yorker I can only ask is it rational to live and work any where else?
Califronia: Earthquakes and a Governor who talk funny
Texas: The death penalty for speeding
Florida: Hurricanes and the inability to count
Iraq: If your neighbors don't kill you, your family will
Iran: See above
Minnesota: So much snow and an ex-governor who talks funny
England: Bad Teeth, Bad Weather, bad Food
Maryland: My son's mother.
Colordao: School shotings and the most indept police force ever (hey guys Jon bennets mother did it...geez)
China: No Freedom, too many people
Seriously I could go on and on but the real answer was given more then 50 years ago by FDR
"We have nothing to fear but fear itself"
So if you are a New Yorker, man up and deal with it. I rather have New York be the target then some poor city that can't take it. We're tough around here 9-11 showed that. Knock us down and we will get right back up and spit in your eye

I am not aware of such writings, but this is a personal decision for each person who chooses to stay in ANY metro area. It just stands to reason, however, that our major cities with the high-value targets will almost certainly again be targeted. This is how terrorists gain strength...they make a big "splash" for the greatest publicity with the least investment. That is much more likely to occur in such places as New York City.

Wow i don't understand the place you're from. long island city isn't inevitably terrorist crucial in basic terms because of the fact there replace into an intentional airplane crash 7 YEARS in the past. you would be high-quality in basic terms carry some pepper spray if it makes you experience safer.

I'm from Canada and I agree with "Thomas G." 100%.
If another strike does take place, it will probably be in a little hick town out west, just to throw everyone off.

My opinion =NO. If they set explosives in the right places it may cause a domino affect and what better place in New York to make a big splash.

I'd be more concerned about california around the year 2012. They are due for a massive earthquake.
