> Also this fascination with NYC and it's trash situation is such a tired and frankly disingenuous dig at the city. While it is expensive, no argue there, it is not dangerous or filthy. You'd think after having lived there for 15 years you'd have some pride in becoming a New Yorker (lord knows I do and weep for the fact I no longer live there) but maybe the city is better off without you. So you just assert it's fine and continue with an ad hominem argument? Allow me to retort: maybe it's a trash pit of a city because of apologists like you? NYC reeks in a way I've not encountered outside of the US.

There's no point in trying to convince people who already come into the discussion with such charged language as "filthy", "disgusting" or "trash pit". Their minds are already made up, sadly, and yes, the city doesn't deserve such disrespect and slander, especially from someone who claims to have lived there for 15 years. Shameful. The sanitation system in the city is near the bottom compared to other issues like the MTA; anybody making an argument to the contrary either has never lived in the city or is willfully ignorant.
