New Yorkers reveal the worst things about NYC life — from diarrhea streams to homeless vomit

Being a resident of the Big Apple can really bite.

Sure, living in the city that doesn’t sleep has its perks — access to world-renowned art, first-rate restaurants, a vibrant array of global cultures, to name a few.

Yeah, yeah. That’s all great.

But being a New Yorker isn’t all Tony-winning shows on Broadway and late-night cocktails at Zero Bond.

In fact, a griping group of Gothamites has taken to social media to reveal some of the most distressing mishaps they’ve endured while in the survival-of-the-fittest struggle that is life in the concrete jungle.

I lived in NJ when Rudy was mayor of NYC. The talk radio people trashed him every day. He was evil incarnate.

Bet they wish they had him back now.

“a vibrant array of global cultures”

Vibrant, brave, stunning, bold. What the hell ever.

I used to love NYC. My wife and son and I used to visit there twice a year for 4-day weekends. At this juncture, I don’t plan on visiting there again.

I lived in NYC for 35 years. Finally, enough was enough. Enough circling the block 6 times looking for an available parking space. Enough graffiti and trash thrown into the street. Enough ghetto-quality Chinese being subsidized by their commie government buying up all available property and bringing their disgusting cultural practices to neighborhoods. Enough crime, and enough high taxes and prices. I had retired, I had no further reason to stay in what was developing quickly into an absolute hellhole. And this was before the idiot dimmocraps elected Eric Useless Adams to strut around and do nothing constructive.

So I say, the best view of NYC is the one in the rear view mirror. Buh bye!

[bankwalker]

so where did you end up?

[gitmo]

I visited NYC a few times 30-40 years ago. I thought it was a cesspool then.

[Former Proud Canadian]

Give me space. Wide open space. Can’t hear your neighbors arguing. I’m at a place where I can’t even see ‘em, which is even better.

Haha, me too.

AMEN!

[Elsie]

I see what you did here!

[Gay State Conservative]

I could easily live in one or two of the city's Connecticut or New Jersey suburbs. And I wouldn't mind having a small place on the Upper West Side of Manhattan for an occasional weekend away.

But living in the city itself? No thanks!

What does it matter when you have the supreme bliss of abortion?!

[MayflowerMadam]

I don’t exactly know what a diarrhea stream is, but I guess I don’t want to know.

[Braak]

Reason 1,745,234,245 that I am so damn glad I left NYC in 2006 and never looked back. I wouldn’t even say it’s a great place to visit now.
