No, i went there for a college interview and saw tons of grime, rubbish and homeless everywhere

lol fuck no, its really a shitty place to live, the buildings are so tall it literally blocks out the sun

Shanghai is better and more aesthetic

if you like air pollution that gives you cancer yea i bet shanghai is better

>wah wah air pollution
You can say the same about any big city of the world

What is better then?

All of the great cities have their charms and it depend on what specifically appeals to you. I can't really say I would want to visit and if I was going to America there would be other cities I would want to visit ahead of New York.

are you retarded? do you think the smog in chinese big cities is comparable to any other city in the world? do some research retard

smells like a sewer

absolute shit hole

I went there with my parents when I was 11. I just remember the subways being absolute fucking garbage compared to ones I've been in even in Southeast Asia. This was 10 years ago, and NYCers say it's only gotten worse

obviously jewyork, but that does not mean jewyork is not a shit place to live

Did a little search and this is the result.
>oh no beware of the 37th most polluted city of the world

Even our capital is more polluted than Shanghai

if you noticed none of the actual first world countries city is on that list, all of those cities are fucking retarded

what im trying to say is, why the fuck should anyone think the third world standard of living should be, or is the norm ?

>changing the goalposts
Naples, Italy is also there.

That doesn't change the fact that Shanghai is in a fact a beautiful city with a lot of things to do and watch.

corntown fucksville if you'd believe Jow Forums

oh shit you have 1, 1 city thats on that list out of howmany third world shitholes? woah nice comparison faggot.
if you can find beauty through the heavy smog wall then yea go ahead, live in shanghai, thats your taste

Because the majority of the world lives in the 3rd world. And memes aside, you can find very nice places in 3rd world countries too.

You said none: You sound pretty angry though

no, but it is the original everyone tries to copy

yea i missed one, then again italy is a shithole too.
i guess its a difference in viewpoint, i guess in your view since your own cities are so polluted you find beauty in lesser polluted cities like shanghai, which for most people is still polluted as fuck

>be New Yorker
>rent a cardboard box for $3000/month

nigga where the fuck are you from

Most people lives in polluted cities.
I'm talking about personal tastes here and when I'm at certain places I look for certain things to do or watch or how to have fun, not caring that much about air pollution. If you give me the choice of visiting NY or Shanghai I'll pick the second. And there is nothing you can say to change my decision.
BTW My tastes > Your tastes

most people living in shithole dosent change the fact that shitholes are shitholes, enjoy your shithole and late age lung cancer

Actually I'm from Cusco and the air quality is very good here.

For a mega city, probably. I mean what other choices are there? That are viable? And not that idiot shilling shanghai

i dont get how you live in a nice place like cusco and still think shanghai is beautiful, your sense of beauty is really weird man, gotta tell yea, the smog is so thicc you literally cant see the sky there, but hey its your taste

Only saying that I prefer Shanghai to NY.
That's it.

London is the only competitor and it is shit

>inb4 meme cities like paris and la

>Ugly copy and pasted skyscraper city
No thanks.

tokyo, now that's a mega city

no

t. new yorker

>tfw makes nyc look like a citylet

>copy and pasted skyscraper city

There is loads of different skyscrapers though?

Holy shit that's a fuck huge metropolitan area

38 million people, to put in context Canada has 36 million people in the entire country.

not even the greatest city on the east coast of the united states.

that would be Portland, Maine

The Eastern Coast from Boston to Washington D.C. is a massive megalopolis that has like 50 million plus people, around a fifth of the population of the USA. And it's expected to grow much larger in the coming decades.

This map angle should be illegal

Yeah but aren't most of those people living in big green suburbs with big houses and big gardens were people are dependant on cars? Using such such a broad definition of for a metro area you could class all of England as one big Metropolitan area.

I'm from NYC, born and raised here. Only reason I stay here is because it's where the jobs are.

Nice proxy fly over faggot

NEW YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORK

This is probably bait but it's not even the best city in the northeast

Well, you can certainly say that it's the greatest on this continent. Gargantuan pillars of finance, illustrious cultural arts, titanic industry, world tethering trade, a vibrant wellspring of ideas... It's got it all!

probably the most iconic

Aesthetic

Naples is not a city, it's just a pile of rubbish that the Vesuvio should eradicate from the face of the Earth as soon as possible

Need to visit New York, looks goat

You'll hear a lot of live jazz, sometimes hip hop around the subways. It's kinda dirty and has graffiti but it's pretty lit desu.
