So, when - not if - you see MTA maintenance folks stealing paint and supplies for their houses, post it here: [angrynyer.com]
When I climb the stairs at the ruins of Penn Station and see dust bunnies that would send my 18-pound cat running for cover, and I think about the $3000+ I spend per year commuting, I get pissed. #newyorkcity

Wage Tax: 3.9296% for Philly residents v. $3,071 plus 3.648% of the excess over $90,000 (highest rate in New York City -- for married residents filing individually).
Sales Tax: Eight fucking percent in Philly. Eight. v. 4.5% in NYC.
Yet, here, across the river from Camden, we live in constant fear of suspended trash pickup; closing libraries, swimming pools and parks. Plus we have to deal with Arthur Kade. How is that fair? #newyorkcity

The pizza doesn't taste like pizza anymore. A lot of the "neighborhood" pizza places have moved upstate or to New Jersey and you have to go to an outer borough to get really good NYC pizza most of the time. You used to be able to stop anywhere for a slice and it would be uniformly good.
H&H seems to be the only place where bagels taste like bagels and not rolls with a hole in them.
And the streets are lousy with tourists looking up and stopping short to take pictures of god-knows-what.
But my biggest complaint is the outdoor mall feel to Manhattan now. All the chain stores, all the stores you used to NEVER find in Manhattan, all the chain restaurants.
There used to be a flavor to Manhattan not found anywhere else and it's gone for the most part. Replaced by Duane Reade, Red Lobster and The Gap.
I have considered moving not to Florida (egad) but definitely out of Manhattan. I can live in suburban "Anywhere America" for a lot less money.

This made me teary-eyed because it's true. True as hell! #newyorkcity

Here here!
Life on our corrupt little urban island would have to reach Escape from New York levels of danger and filth before that trailer park built on a swamp of a state would become even halfway attractive. #newyorkcity

Oh, yes. I would even be willing to sport the Adrienne Barbeau perm for that. #newyorkcity

Banning substances or behaviors that degrade the quality of public spaces is one of the principles behind civilized shared space. Suck it up, or go start your own country where everyone's a dick to each other because of freedom or whatever.
