you can enter a higher % buildings in manhattan than any other city in the country. because there is retail etc on the bottom floor . so that's a pretty bizarre critique. "why would I want to go to Dallas? it's mostly just single family houses and I can't even go into them..."

a recent visit to NYC proved that the city has a spirit impervious to the attacks of hipsters and investment bankers and trustafarians and duke grads

lol this thread will now go on forever because somebody said they didn't love ny
nb I have loved ny from the second I set foot in it in august of '94 but it is impossible for me to imagine any citizenry being more "what do you mean you don't love this?" about their town, it's like the Old Faithful of native pride

and it's multiplied by 5 when the person isn't actually from NY but lives there now

Well I didn't move here just because I didn't have anywhere else to go. It was actually a conscious choice, which I consciously considered, as opposed to staying in Evangelical Capital of Crazy Land.

col springs or boulder
― manic pixie fream girl (rip van wanko), Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:51 (twelve years ago) link
in terms of cities that i have been, i can say that nyc, boston, dc, la and san francisco are all not at all mellow
philly is sort of mellow
i guess honolulu is mellow but that feels like cheating
pdx is definitely mellow, on the other hand its more like "a big town" than a city
― max, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:51 (twelve years ago) link
sausalito is mellow, marin in general, but its not really a city
― ice cr?m, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:52 (twelve years ago) link
boulder is a good answer
i thought CO springs was super conservative, seems like th opposite of mellow
― max, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:52 (twelve years ago) link

― iatee, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:52 (twelve years ago) link

SF is that weird thing where everyone thinks theyre really mellow but theyre wayyyy not mellow
