― Mr. Que, Friday, 17 October 2008 15:10 (fifteen years ago) link
i read the new yorker cause i have a long commute and it is usually interesting. were i in any other city, i would probably drive and therefore never read and therefore be dumb.

I think NYC is kind of awesome to a fault. The sense of ambition and energy and limitlessness of options can be a bit overwhelming, and sometimes I want to live somewhere a bit more low key like Philadelphia (not to mention cheaper). You can't really say there's any *thing* NYC doesn't have, it's just that it has so much of everything.

Que's challenging NYC disses are so skewed and sideways that I don't even have a response to any of them! I dunno. It's, you know, a city. A particularly large and teeming and vigorous one. It is not, in the end, a fundamentally different sort of entity from other cities, including less-large and less-teeming ones that are cheaper and more relaxing. There are differences in character, certainly, but you talk about it long enough and just becomes ... whatever.
Besides, not to get all class-analytical here, but most of us talking here, and (I'm guessing) most of the types of people we associate with in cities, are all post-collegiate cosmopolitans who don't come from that city anyway, am I right? New York, L.A., Chicago, all populated by young people from the same suburban zones. Would things seem different if we discussed cities in terms of their true "native" types? I'm not sure I could decide between NYC's and Chicago's -- might lean toward Chicago's!

he posts multiple paragraphs in a calm and measured tone
NYC has an extremely wide range of "native types"
― Tyrone Quattlebaum (Hurting 2), Friday, 17 October 2008 16:17 (fifteen years ago) link
Also a lot of suburbanites are sons and daughters of native types -- particularly the ones from Jersey.

Haha calm and measured because I didn't get them at all! Which I guess was the joke('s on me).
xpost yes, NYC probably has a few more than Chicago, just on the numbers. I just ... conversations about cities I'm in usually tend to be about what kind of lifestyle they provide to or draw out of post-collegiate non-native types (like me and lots of the people I talk to); they could sound really different, is what I'm saying.
