New Yorker Adjusting to San Francisco
from the wow,-that-sounds-familiar dept
Okay, okay, I realize this might have a limited audience, but as a transplanted New Yorker in the San Francisco Bay Area, way too much of this rang true for me (as many of you who have heard my complaints know). It is true about the lack of jay walking, good pizza, the subway isn't a subway (who wants to be on a subway anyway in a land where the ground shakes??), and people do talk to you on the streets. However, unlike the author of the article, I have at times put all that behind me and will now admit to liking it out here.

very interesting
as a person from London. I am more of a fan of New York. There is some truth in the article about SF but I am sure all you .com people will prove me wrong! have fun out there.

ugh
as someone from NY, upstate (yes there is more to NY than NYC), allow me to say, people from NYC are the most arrogant, whiny, obnoxious, rude, people in the country.
Give me a break, SF is too hilly!! No kidding? wow who would've thought. Why not move to Kansas and complain there's too much corn and it's too flat.
The world DOES NOT revolve around NYC, the rest of us do not live like sardines, shut up for a change.

Re: ugh
As someone who lived for extended periods of time in both upstate and downstate NY, it seems that way too many upstaters have this weird irrational fear of downstaters, as if they're taking over the name "New York". Of course there are plenty of nice normal people in both upstate and downstate New York who see no need to generalize about everyone in the other portion of the state and go on insulting rampages...
