I love NYC because of the "people energy" that I feel there (also like SF for the same reason).
One of my pet social theories is that people's social paranoia is inversely proportional to their level of social contact. If you just watched the news, you would think that the world is a terribly dangerous place.
Fewer cars + more walking/biking + more mass transit = much saner world
Bloomberg (from a distance at least) is turning out to be a pretty decant mayor.
I think a lot of the vibe in NYC has been eradicated. I live in Manhattan and actually travel to SF at least once a year just to hang out and walk around. SF is hands down the best city in the US now. It often reminds me of NYC in the 70's (much to it's credit). We need more filth,danger and general disruptiveness.

I take it that the San Francisco tourism board will not be touting your unusual endorsement. To what do you attribute New York's relative lack of filth, danger, and disruptiveness? All those spy cameras?
