Reply to comment by Brudesandwich in I’m sick of all the negativity about JC, what do you love about this city? by The_Nomadic_Nerd

Which cities do you think are loved but are actually shit holes?

Nyc, LA, Orlando, SF, Houston, Austin, Paris off the top of my head

Wow I can see some of those but NYC, SF and Paris are surprising.

Everyone wears Rose colored glasses when it comes to NYC

Nah I’m fully aware of its issues but if you’re into urbanism it’s far and away the best city for it in the country. What don’t you like about it?

I think people here don't really like urbanism. They like gentrification that results in Whole Foods and more amenities. Like if JC could be Park Slope.

They like the idea of being a person who lives in a city (“my family back in Ohio think I’m CrAzY for living here!”) while they complain that there’s too many homeless people and the Whole Foods can’t open fast enough.
