Telling comment by a reader:

“I am born and raised in the lower east side, NYC, and honestly, I don’t miss it either. I only miss my friends. All the city is now is a big giant dive bar for jerk off out of town scum bags, teenage hoodlums with no respect, and a dirty, rat infested ****hole.”

This has nothing to do with crowding and everything to do with the enemies of society being excused for their barbaric behaviour.

The religion of liberals is to sell their humanity in the very name of humanity; by paying taxes with the understanding that its the states responsibility to take care of themselves and their neighbors.

Therefore, charity and goodwill are matters of the state, not of individuals on the street.

That and 75% of the scum on the streets in NYC are working some scam, and the people there have learned to just keep walking and not get involved.....

Me too. I occasionally have to travel the DC-Philly-NYC-Boston axis on business, and I despise those cities and their cultures.

what a crock...

What is Lazarus saying? A pack of dogs would stop and call an ambulance? A flock of seagulls would stop and call Police?

Fine quote, but I think it is better applied on a slightly different scenario....

Big cities are boils on Earth's butt!

Thomas Jefferson had it right:

"The mobs of great cities add just so much to the support of pure government, as sores do to the strength of the human body. It is the manners and spirit of a people which preserve a republic in vigor. A degeneracy in these is a canker which soon eats to the heart of its laws and constitution."

--THOMAS JEFFERSON, Notes on Virginia, query 19, reprinted in The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, ed. Andrew A. Lipscomb, vol. 2, p. 230.

When a homeless man has more humanity than an hour’s worth of NYC passerbys, you’ve got a said commentary on those in NYC. And not trying to insult the homeless.

So, the main icon of the RATs has stated that their bastions of power are basically disease...just the opposite of Marx.

By the way...I read that Marx was actually kidding.

Many, many years ago my dad used to say that in New York City people would walk past a dying guy in the street and do nothing.

Well, he was right.

Nothing new from the city that made Kitty Genovese famous.

Forget the borders, throw up a wall around Noo Yawk.

And those lofty elitists wonder why us ignorant, poor Southerners don’t stand bar-foot on the porch of our single-wides, pining for the day we’ll be as great and enlightened as they are....

to animals that ignore a person in trouble!

Amen, brother!

My feeling toward NYC are the same .. love/hate. I was born there but the family moved to the ‘country’ when I was quite young. Later I had the opportunity to live and work in Manhattan as an adult. That was before Giuliani, unfortunately. FReepers can say whatever they will about him, but what he did for NYC was absolutely remarkable, and against all odds.

Some of the acts of kindness these people (New Yorkers) are capable of go beyond anything you will see in a smaller city or town. We read only about this or the Kitty Genovese situation. The kindnesses never manage to make it to print. Jerry Lewis, speaking of his telethon and why he did it in NYC, said “because NYers are the most generous people on earth.” That was a long time ago, but I believe it still holds true today.

Often people not in NY don’t understand its geography. Or its demographics. What is seen of NY are its celebrities, its news anchors, its power brokers and its big-name criminals. They are less than 1% of the city’s population. They congregate in such places as the upper West Side, SoHo, the Village. Most are not native NYers. They come to a big, crowded, overwhelming city and shield themselves by taking on a protective coat against all that is going on around them. The natives are more accustomed to its vastness and pace, and are more inclined to actually paying attention to what surrounds them.
