I'd rather live in Mordor

An APC forum isn’t the place to ask about people’s opinions of a certain city... you’re better off just googling it or perhaps actually speaking to people who actually live there.

In my unofficial polling of New Yorkers, most love it there because they've never really been anywhere else, they don't know any better that there is a vast nation full of cheaper places, or at least places just as expensive with much better weather.

This is true of most Americans. So many never leave their town/county/state. Never mind the country. Very... limited experiences, If you will.

What's interesting is that I've been all over the country (and Canada and Mexico) as a pilot and I keep coming back to Jersey. The only other places I could see living are Chicago (possibly the most underrated big city in the US) or some places in the mountain west. Oh, and Paris if I didn't suck at French.

Paris is a tough commute.

I've been all over the country as well; Canada and Mexico too, as well as 6/7 continents.

Places I could live in?

Buenos Aires, Barcelona, and NYC.

There's a reason its the most heavily populated city in the US by far and the center of the most heavily populated region of the country. 8.6 million people can't be wrong...

The great thing about this country is that if you want to live on 100 acres with no other human in sight you can, or you can live in a refrigerator box on top of millions of other people.
