It smells.

It’s crowded.

It’s expensive.

It’s cramped.

The best part about it is that I get to leave in three days.

My hotel room is barely big enough for the bed. And still $300 a night with a group rate.

    I’ve enjoyed it when I’ve visited but I’d probably go insane if I had to actually live there. Broadway? Nice. Fun times. Restaurants? Cool. The park??? Real neat. Living there??? Nuhuh.

      I think I can say that about any North American city. I used to love the idea of living in Vancouver, but the reality is having to cross an 8 lane stroad to get to the bus stop on the other side and the bus is late because that lane is also used for parking and no one wants to do anything about than because storing private vehicles on public roadways is apparently a god given right.

      Also there’s barely any public washrooms so the whole city is basically roads and overpriced apartments.

      That’s just North American cities in general though. Shitholes because the infrastructure needed to develop a healthy economy just isn’t there. People will pich ideas to develop it more but there’s always the WhErE wiLl i PaRk My CaR push back.
