City Vs Country: What do you prefer?

[Dresderstan]

I dont think you have spent much time in Manhattan

Manhattan is the best part of New York.

You clearly know nothing about New York then if all you can think of is pretty buildings and Time Square.

I'm with Therm, I too prefer my truck and the ability to drive where I need to get to, instead of a designated stop. Pretty impossible to haul most bulk items on public transportation, not to mention when I go to the range, most public transportation won't let you on with firearms even cased or even have a route that goes to a range. Driving my self gives me more freedom to do it the way I want.

This^^

I'm all for public transit but it doesn't work for everyone for a lot of reasons.

Or all the time. Its faster to commute downtown by public transport here than any other method. Going cross the city, its two hours on train vs a 45 minute drive.

Maybe, but the population is mostly transplants moving to NYC for various reasons. The natives are pushed out of the city in the gentrification process.

Manhattan is where my school was. I just never liked the rest of New York State or the culture.

Fancy,

but look around that neighborhood. All 5he poor people have been displaced by the out of town rich. There is old money there, but all that new construction ain't for the poor or middle class.

It's a gross situation and we've got to do everything we can as a government to lift people up.

Every city I’ve lived in requires you to drive to get anywhere so it’s really no different than the suburbs. Hell some cities, like Mesa, are just giant suburbs.

Basically I like the suburbs. Not as crazy as the city yet not as far out as the country.

The car-centric urban planning charactistic of many southern and western US cities is an absolute crime against nature. I understand walking everywhere or using public transport isn't feasible in rural areas, but if you have to drive everywhere in the city, then you are forgoing one of the chief advantages of urban living.

Also, I don't think it is exactly fair to say cities are lacking in good culture when they are home to some many art museums, symphonies, and historical sites. But to be fair, if you are talking about the culture of plebian urban-dwellers, yes, that generally does seem to be rather trashy.

Working class urban people? I don't really blame them to be honest.

I agree its a a very unfair assessment and I don't know where the notion comes from.

Ahh that was gonna be my second guess, it's the only other SF seat in the city I know.

Not to go all "Grammatik Macht Frei," but that would be something like a "low income area". A ghetto is just a place categorized by having a population made up primarily of a national minority, like a Chinatown, Little Italy, or the Grey Quarter. They're not always slums (although they usually are, sadly).

Well, to be fair, it is probably more a result of the influence of environmental factors like advertising and mass media rather than the people themselves. But cities do tend to be lacking in any sort of authentic folk culture.

How do they lack it?
