Technically, yes.

I've flown over it (flying into JFK), and I've driven by it. (Driving to Elizabeth, New Jersey)

But I've never actually been in it. I was planning on going next month for a conference, but it got cancelled.  

It's because my mom despises New York City. When we were driving into New Jersey with the skyline across the water, she was like, "This is as close as we're getting."



You're better off in New Jersey, anyway.

new york is bigger than london dumb fuck.  

the london mayor's asking the nyc mayor for tips on safety? probably cus he's a dumbass cus new york's murder rate has risen 10% this year, which is the first murder increase since 1990.  

americans=smartest and most developed despite our short history


 

NYC- 601 square miles
London- 609 square miles

Population looking at statistics pretty much equal, and read this you might find it interesting. I picked a New York article so you didn't accuse me of being biased.

So yeah. I have lived in both New York and London and definatley found New York easier to live in.


do you even know what you're talking about?  a city's size is not based on area, it's based on population.  and no, the populations are nowhere near equal.  

the census judges a city's size based on metro area because some city's are smaller in area than others. fr example, miami is only 33 square miles so that's not fair to them. so metro population is how size of a city is judged because a metro area is an extension of the city. plus during the day people commute into the city for work so more people are in the city.

london had 12,875,000 people in 2003, and new york city had 19,750,000 in 2003. new york city is gaining more population per year than any other city in america, and we are now nearing 24 million while london is hardly gaining anything.

due to the new york metropolitan areas massive raw growth, the census beureau is going to be joining the new york and philadelphia metropolitan in at most a decade. the number of commuters from philly to nyc and vice versa is rising every day and my dad works with people who commute to manhattan from philly's suburbs every day. our metropolitan area will be giving the tokyo area a run for its money. the east coast along 1-95 in the usa is turning into japan.

...and you're proud of that? I don't really understand why you love proclaiming the fact that NYC is dangerous. Do you just live in a really shitty neighborhood and like to boast about the fact you're still alive? NYC is just a city, like a thousand others in the world.

Anyway, I'm hoping to go to NY beginning of January for a few days. January sales!!

new york is bigger than london, it looks bigger than london, new yorkers can be a lot nastier, bad attitudes, and london knife crime looks like little school girl "i stole your makeup" crime compared to new york city's crime.

New Yorks not bigger than London....and I have lived in NYC before and yesh..I'm still here and want to go back. Also if New York's crime is worse than London why would the London Mayor be asking the New York mayor for help in how to make our city safer?

you fuckin gotta be fuckin kiddin me.  oh my god almighty.  half yous sound like fuckin softies and i guarantee you that 99% of the fuckin people who say they wanna fuckin live here and finally do will be outta here within a fuckin year... why?  cus yous guys are softies.  you aint fuckin new york city material.

  i dont care if you live in fuckin kansas city or miami or houston or los angeles... those are fake ass cities.... new york is a real fuckin city and only a handful got what it takes to make it here.  

  anybody can make it in miami or los angeles... just sit your fat ass on a beach all day and you made it.  but in new york you better work for your shit to make it to the penthouse in the sky.


 

  I can bet you 100 dollars that I can hack New York City. I'm not naive I know it can be rough, but the way I feel when I am there is indescribable, I like that it is imperfect.


that's what they all say... and within 9 months they're outta here cus it's "too stressful" waaaaaaa i'm a fuckin baby waaaaa i can't take city life no more waaaaaaaa. but no worries we're still gaining more population per year that any other city in america.


Yeah thats what people told me when I moved to London. You hate it, you'll never be able to hack it, it's too lonely big, too much knife crime. Pfffrt whatever get a grip.
