- sjm 6y agoIdeal in what sense? NYC has more than double the GDP of the entire country of Switzerland and approximately the same population.
- alkonaut 6y agoI mean in the sense of what perceived chaos or deterioration is “allowed” in a city or it’s infrastructure. E.g whether a plot can be left unbuilt or half torn down for example, and the standards which are expected of public infrastructure like roads or train stations.
- golemiprague 6y agoCities like Tokyo might be more comparabe, and much nicer than NYC in many aspects, especially the public transportation system. For a major city NY looks pretty shabby and not that nice in average.
