[@beazy293]

I live out on long island and frequent the city and tend to agree with the discourteous observation. You have to understand that when you walk past thousands of other people every day without really looking at faces and navigating through crowds, your regard for others as far as responsibility to be kind or a sense of community responsibility is passed onto others because you expect at least one out of the millions to give a crap. New York City in recent years has become dirty and overcrowded mainly because police here are instructed not to enforce certain laws to limit such things. They'll clean up the few streets that tourists frequent obviously but it's hard to take the subway without someone asking you to swipe for them to get in, or using a bathroom in Penn Station without finding someone sleeping on the floor, and even riding a bike without taxis or other rude people blocking bike lanes and double parking. I could go on forever about how the city's changed for the worse and it doesn't seems as if it'll get any better with the Mayor and Governor more focused on issues in other parts of the Nation. It'll always be a fun place to visit but the overall quality of living at a premium cost makes it a less than ideal place to live.

I actually learned something with my economics degree, cities exist due to agglomeration of jobs that make housing and renting more expensive in those areas which results in the building be built into skyscrapers due to the lack of land in that area being able to be built, pushing out the city to less businesses and homes until the city hits a suburban neighborhood or farm land. At that point a new city would began at another distant with the same goal.

[@gadotxo]

As a New Yorker who has friends in LA this is the perfect dichotomy. Someone from LA doesn’t like New York, someone from New York doesn’t like LA.

[@matthewcote5198]

Maybe this guy is in flight or fight when he goes into the city. But the truth of living in NYC is way different. When you live there, you know. The energy of the city isn't just about being "motivated" either... I will say though that if you are doing the 9-5 grind in the city, taking the subway at 8 am with everyone else you feel worthless and it feels like a fucking drag.

The sense of community is quite bleak in many cities. For all our economic progress, people are overworked, financially and mentally stressed, and often conditioned to pursue material desires rather than social well-being. Also, cities have become highly specialized because careers have, and so forming meaningful relationships with people from different walks of life has become more elusive.

[@gc3k]

In many cities, not all of them. It's easier when you're college-aged, and it's definitely not the "down home hospitality" type of community. But with so many people around with different backgrounds, community elements develop in its own way. YMMV depending on the city

[@trosclair434genus4]

Yo. I didn’t hate rent until I moved to a bigger city. Frankly I want a big yard with a wraparound porch.

NY is like NOWHERE else on the planet. The sheer amount of people makes a person agressive. In fact newyorkers are known for being angry.

[@RyanAustinDean]

At the beginning of the millennium, Rome was by far the biggest city in the world with 1 million people in 496 square miles. New York has 9 million in 305 square miles. I’m not sure you can compare ancient cities to modern metropolises.

[@FloatyBrain]

JokerL1000 I wouldn’t say know for being angry.. I think the proper word is busy. 9/10 a newyorker has somewhere to be or do and this is mutually understood. So a situation or event occurs that robs them of their time is seen as an ultimate disrespect. Most of all, us city people value time

[@FloatyBrain]

Ryan Austin Dean sorry but I’d have to disagree. I think you missed the point. I wasn’t measuring the size of the civilization but rather what attracted them. And also their sizes do have some correlation. During ancient Roman times 1 million was a huge number to have in a permanent settlement. And in contemporary society where total population exceeds 7 billion, New York could possibly be Rome’s equivalent 🤷🏾‍♂️

I would never ever want to live in a big city like LA or NY. Way too much traffic and way too many people. Too much noise and superficial people. I’ll take a quiet life in a suburb/countryside any day. Also when shit goes down and the apocalypse happens, city folk are the first to go

[@basketweaver1144]

Massive groups of people naturally mean safety

[@toketalkalaska2540]

NYC has so much competition for survival, very few people give a shit about each other. They are good people , they just live struggling for a dollar mostly doing a job that gives them little to no personal fulfillment.

[@howitusedtobe]

Does this exclude New York and LA? Those two cities are unnecessarily, ridiculously expensive . I’d wager this stands true across the globe .. London , Paris , Berlin ... ect...

They're not saying it's a cheap city to live in. Listen godammit before commenting.

[@s4nder86]

Try watching the video.

Sorry, but that didn't make any sense at all Laird... Joe agrees with his guests regardless of how little sense they make.

The city is not cheap what the fuck are yall talking about I lived im LA cali it was almost $2000 for a stufio apartment not including utilities, in TN my double wide 2 bedroom trailer on 2 acres of land I bought for $10,000, thats cheap not more than $2000 a month for a room. You are wrong as hell
