An interesting story. Don’t think I would like living there.
I was there for the blizzard of '95 (or was it '96?) when some three feet of snow were dumped on Manhattan, Staten Island got it worse. The entire city shut down for several days while the snow was getting cleared out. People were cross country skiing in Manhattan and in Central Park, it was quite a sight.
Crews were working 24x7 to remove the snow, shopkeepers and everyday people were taking coffee and food to the snow removal crews which is something you'd NOT see in Chicago.
New Yorkers bust their asses when they're working, seriously they do. Everything they do seems to be with a sense of urgency to get the job done.
The further west you move across this country that sense of urgency seems to be lost. By the time one gets to California it's soooooooooo laid back.
Anyone who's ever been to New York City and seen how that city works and how hard it works understands President Trump. He truly exemplifies New York City work ethic and culture. For better or worse, he is NYC and NYC is him.
That sense of urgency and brutal honesty is why so many of us elected him isn't it?
