You have some interesting points, I won't argue about because my post a response to what blog was about. But I must disagree with you on the matter of cleanness, just the look of things alone is disgusting and yes the streets of NYC is dirty and in many cases disgusting. The cars like I said in most cases are tolerable as long as you're not in on someone just urinated in. This probably happens once everyday ( primarily on lines from the outer boroughs) because some people make the subway cars their room and toliet.
- leafydirt 15y agoIs NY really that dirty? I visited for the first time in a couple years last month, and given all I've heard, I found it surprisingly clean (about the same level of cleanliness as SF, where I live).
- thomasgerbe 15y agoI'd say it's pretty dirty. The subways are disgusting and the streets often have trash strewn about. SF is certainly not that much better (though the BART stations are far cleaner).
- rayiner 15y agoI've been to a number of major US cities, and lived in 4, and NY is by far the dirtiest city I've seen outside the third world. The sanitation system is non-existent. There are no alley ways or trash bins, so there are just bags of garbage littering the streets. It's surreal.
- lurker19 15y agoSeattle and many other cities have parks spread across the whole city, and one central trash dump. In Manhattan, vice versa.
- dblock 15y agoNot true. I lived in both Seattle downtown and Eastside. Just in the 15 streets around Union Square area there's the Union Square, Thompkins Square, Gramercy, Madison and Washington Square parks plus at least ten smaller parks or playgrounds. Try to find a green playground in Seattle downtown.
