What do you both love and hate most about your city?

[rapfan107]

[WhiteSteve]

I like that it’s big without being TOO big. And our people, we’re unique. When I go out of state, or even to the other side of the state, people really treat you like a novelty, as long as you have the accent. Just please let us talk and appreciate whatever we happen to say; please DO NOT ask us to say “park the car in Harvard Yard.” Good luck parking anywhere around Harvard/Harvard Square, lmao. And locally, the people just seem real and gritty. There’s something about that’s just a little different that I appreciate.

The worst parts are the traffic, and “the old guard” around here is pretty racist, which has bled into the younger generations some…

But even though I’m in the suburbs now, and for all its warts…it’s always going to be “home”, you know?

[Staximus]

@WhiteSteve pahk tha caa in haavud yaahd?

[WhiteSteve]

@Staximus that’s the one, haha. Way better off asking us to say “barbecue” or “firefighter”😂

[WhiteSteve]

@Staximus Harvard Yard is also just like a grassy quad within Harvard’s campus, so definitely don’t try to park there. Definitely a ticket and probably would get you towed. Maybe on move-in/out day. Not sure of the rules, haha

[Staximus]

Did you buy that Jeep wagoneer I found for you?

[WhiteSteve]

@Staximus One day…..

For now, I have to have a comfortable modern for the lady to be comfortable in. Wagoneer will have to be a second “play” car. But I’ll never not dream of it, haha

[Staximus]

You blew it dude, that thing was fucking mint

[WhiteSteve]

@Staximus I know, man. Wish I could do it, but it found me in the wrong season of my life, haha

[exitseven]

I like the local sports teams and sometimes there are events that I like to atttend like parades. It is expensive and crowded. Forget about finding a parking space and the public transportation is a joke. The local politicans have run the place into the ground. If I go in there once a year it is a lot.

[Iron_Man]

You like the baseball farm league

[exitseven]

@Iron_Man I sometimes go to double A baseball.

[Iron_Man]

Cool

[Kvass]

What I love is seeing culture, art, history everywhere. I also really appreciate how well the police keep things safe, so I can go on my late night walks in peace. Another favorite thing beautiful people, there are beautiful people everywhere.

What I hate is the unpainted old apartments. Other than the city center and the newer buildings, no one has ever considered the idea of painting these old, run-down grey buildings.

[Levin]

I guess not tarnished by 'diversity' in Western cities, so still a high trust, safe society.

[Kvass]

@Levin The pros of not being a bleeding heart toward Muslims.. 🤷‍♀️

[Levin]

If you saw what the town that I work in is like, you'd be in shock.

[lilBigPotato]

I love how you can see it's old history at every corner, with buildings that are hundreds and thousands of years old.

I dislike that it can be overrun with tourists in summer and it getting more and more expensive to live here.

[rapfan107]

Oh really!! Where you live? If you don't mind me asking

[lilBigPotato]

Málaga

[rapfan107]

Oh I heard its really nice there !! So you're from Spain

[itss_lily]

i heard its bad in ibiza too with the tourists

[rapfan107]

Well most just go to do drugs and dance to techno music

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I live outside the city but what I love about nyc is how wild and chaotic it is. Literally anything can be happening there at any time. I saw people racing sofas going faster than the cars on the street once. Do you know how bad I wanna do that?

What sucks about nyc is the homeless people. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that the nice ones don't bother me much, it's the crazy drugged out ones on the subway that the cops refuse to do anything about. They need to commondere an island and send those people there... Oh wait they tried that didn't they?

[jennifer_bloom]

One thing about my city that is both good and bad is singular demographic loyalty, now that is good in the sense that it builds strong and secure communities but it is bad, in the sense that it can lead to hostility towards those outside their singularly favoured communities.

[Chayce]

Which city are you based out of. Ottawa?

[jennifer_bloom]

@Chayce Mississauga

[Chayce]

@jennifer_bloom Ahh 401 East Gardiner expressway

[Zack-Bann]

Public transportation.
Easy.


I love it and use it often but my god is it a horrible experience most days.


I try not to complain because at least it’s something but sometimes it’s not easy to overlook some glaring problems.

[midnightmoon05]

I love NYC!
the culture, the convenience, the food, lots to do, explore.
dislike - traffic

[rapfan107]

Is it true everyone its really aggressive?

[midnightmoon05]

No you should visit

[rapfan107]

I been wanting to!! What would you say jts the best time?

[midnightmoon05]

When you have a lot of money lol jk.
Weather wise?
September? May?

[rapfan107]

Oh yeah i heard its super expensive 😅 oh yeah i prefer to go whne its not too cold !! Me n cold don't get along 🤪

[DeeDeeDeVour]

My neighborhood is vibrant.

It's clean.

It's plush.

However, it comes with a hefty premium.

It's expensive to live here.

[Sevenpointfive]

it's literally nothing but a grocery store. you'd think there'd be some parks but not really where they're needed. but the size is nice. that grocery store is always packed!!

[sage2021]

There's nothing to love and I hate that it's the most dangerous city in my State.

[rapfan107]

Is it chicago or Atlanta?

[sage2021]

@rapfan107

No, I'm on the West Coast 😞

[rapfan107]

Sacramento? Or LA

[sage2021]

@rapfan107

40 minutes away from LA

[rapfan107]

There's a city more dangerous than LA?

[sage2021]

Yes!

[rapfan107]

Is it in the OC?

[sage2021]

@rapfan107

Between LA and San Diego

[rapfan107]

The bay area? I mean you can tell me !! It's not like im gonna go looking for you hehe

[sage2021]

Southern California

[rapfan107]

Lol what city tho

[queenofcardio]

Love how social people, I talk to random people almost everyday

Can't stand construction season

[itss_lily]

its quite chill and there is greenery. i hate most the lack of public transport and walkability. its way too car dependent

[Butterfly2050]

I live in San Francisco and I hate how white genocide looks with those unmatched couples (hot white boy with an Asian 4). I generally hate the LGBT atmosphere of this place and it has about the worst sex scene

[DryGermanGuy]

No complaining about SF's costs of living? 😳😳

[Chayce]

Frisco and Dago are some of the only places I'd move to the US for.

[Butterfly2050]

@Chayce The ones living her don’t like

[Iron_Man]

Are you an Asian girl?

[Chayce]

@Iron_Man @butterfly2050 craziness.

[Chayce]

@butterfly2050 I know. I've had Asian women tell me that they don't like black men but they like me "for some reason though". The first girl I lost my virginity to was a pinay. My buddies girlfriend who was Asian couldn't keep her hands off of me when not in the view of everyone else. Asian women love me.

[AviatorTom]

I don't live in a city, but the closest one to me has horrible traffic but pretty nice weather overall.

[drummerdude25]

Soon I will love my city… moving long distance in 1 week. 😬😮‍💨

[rgb008]

I love: I don't need directions to find my way. I know it completely. Has lots of flea markets.

I hate: not much, I am happy.

[jshm2]

The murder rate.

Some of the best hospitals in the country.

[Ariesman81Nshiiit]

I love that my school district has closed open enrollment and rejected several apartment building proposals. Hate? Can't think of anything.

[MrChinaski]

It's relaxed. I have kangaroos bound past my house.

[AngryCarl3]

What I love is that it's not a city. What I hate is there's nothing happening.

[Pterodon]

Love is the buckle on the Bible Belt and extremely 2A friendly
Hate is climate. Summers are brutal

[snowdayc]

Thanks for sharing this helpful guide. The practical information makes the topic much easier to understand. I also found useful for quick online file conversions.

[Anonymous]

I like the fact that my city is smaller than the bigger more liberal city on the other side of the state. I don't like the fact that my city is becoming more liberal than it has currently been

[blackeagle007]

Decent area, not overly expensive.

driving downtown sucks with the traffic

[NathanDavis]

people...

and also, the people

[KostasKouvalis]

The geography

The people

[Anonymous]

LOVE: THE THEME PARKS

HATE: TOO HOT

[Maria924_]

I love and hate the crowd.
