Rats On The West Side, Bedbugs Uptown

In a couple of posts last year (here and here), I predicted that media hype about New York City and soaring Manhattan apartment prices aside, the city and its quality of life seemed poised for a decline. Shorter Michael Bloomberg: buckle up.

DNA tests for everyone arrested in NYC? Not who I want running for president.

As a native NY'er (Westchester, not the city) who lived and worked there most of my life, I have to say that I think NYC is one of the most overrated places on earth. I left 5 years ago and the only thing I miss about NYC are the great restaurants and New Yorkers themselves. I think New Yorkers are for the most part some of the best of America, but I don't miss much of anything about the physical New York City. I think it's one of the least desirable and liveable cities. Boston which was always second rate, has now bypassed New York in quality of life by so far. And, not just because of the Red Sox !
