Pros and Cons of where you live

I know this has been done a bunch of times before, but as a twist, let's assume somebody wants to come visit your town, and you have to convince them to come. You can only choose 3 things to make your point.

Then, do the same for trying to convince somebody to stay away. Like so:

New York City

Pros:

1. Always something to do, regardless of your interests (bars, restaurants, clubs, museums, parks, sporting events, shopping, etc.)

2. A fairly reliable transportation system (including buses, subways, and taxis) to get you around

3. It is pretty safe, and the crime rate is pretty low for a city of this size

Cons:

1. Extremely rude and unfriendly citizens.

2. The streets and some neighborhoods can be extremely dirty.

3. Everything is extremely expensive.

Cons:

2)High taxes can make things expensive

3)There are some really bad areas that you just want to avoid

Well people anywhere can be friendly really, but it is a big city and people still tend to have that city mentality where you either mind your own biz your you end up regretting even saying anything. I guess it is a mix of both. With different cultures and what not, I sometimes find myself more pissed off at people than not.

Rep Power: 11 Disco Raheem is the European Champion


Sydney:

1) Population 5 million, and Australia's "world city", so there's always somewhere to go and something happening, no matter your tastes.

2) The weather is fucking fantastic, not too hot in the summer like up in Queensland.

3) Hottest girls in Australia.

Cons:

1) Expensive

2) People are rude and arrogant, look down on the rest of the country.

3) The lebo's.
