New Yorkers, can you confirm the truth of this?

  • boo hoo, some ivy grad student onion staffer can't cut in NY and so he thinks everyone else can't either. NYC is the greatest city in the world.

    Suck it onion.

    That's why I live in Dirty Jerz versus the Rotten Apple (though I love to kick it there, though). I'm getting too old to deal with that level of stimulation (good and bad) on a daily basis.

    Exactly. The din of car horns and ambulance sirens 24-7 is NOT my thing. I don't care how "glamorous" the place is or how good the food is. COUNTRY > THE CITY.

    No. LI is out. And I'll still work here, and keep my apartment on mulberry. And my family has done the same thing of moving in and out of NYC from Westchester and the Bronx for the last 170 years. One generation moves in, then out, then in and then the next.

    Im way past the glamour stuff that's for New Jersey and tourists.

    I prefer the diversity of NYC. The Burbs and them are way too homogenous.

    Hey Batmon,

    I'll take the peace and tranquility of Somerset, NJ over the bustle and noise of NYC any day of the week. :real_headz:

    Yo Batmon,

    You need to check us out in Somerset. We're diverse as hell out here, which is one of the many reasons I love living here.

    Hey Batmon,

    Here are the demographics for Somerset, NJ (2009):

    White alone - 6,892 (31.4%)
    Black alone - 8,037 (36.7%)
    Hispanic - 4,081 (18.6%)
    Asian alone - 2,466 (11.2%)
    Two or more races - 298 (1.4%)
    Other race alone - 147 (0.7%)

    These are the values for Queens, NY (2009):

    White alone - 732,895 (32.9%)
    Black alone - 422,831 (19.0%)

    Beyond the obvious, large disparity in population size, I think Somerset fared quite well in the diversity comparison, at least demographically.

    provincial NYers are the worst; they grew up, went to school & got a job within a 5 square mile area, yet are convinced that they're 'worldly' just because they live in New York: The Greatest City in the World( tm)

    please, you ain't nothin but a city hillbilly
