r u serious? Seattle wins? What’s next? Paris vs Auburn…Auburn with its SuperMall wins handily…
I don’t think you really lived in NYC long enough to see how amazing it is – besides if you weren’t a native of the East coast you wouldn’t like it – I hate when transplants come to NYC expecting everything great then they leave because they are weak -

Re: Transit. That’s really funny. I’m a recent transplant too. Just yesterday I sent a comment & email about the inscrutable system that is Sound Transit after filling out their online questionnaire about expansion.

After having successfully navigated public transportation in other cities, being so put off the local mass transit system really sours Seattle for me. Readable maps and schedules at bus stops please! Integration with Google Maps too!

I don’t know if it’ll help, but anyone who feels the same way can tell them here -

Oh man Im always trying to weight the benefits of NYC vs Seattle. I really would like to live in NYC, and sometimes I really really get mad at Seattle but…this city is just so…gah! I cant leave it!

Did you only live in New York for 3 months? You hardly gave it a chance! It took me about a year to learn just how to not spend $100 every day and have nothing to show for it, to use the subway (or bike). It took me two years to stop having wild mood swings, going from hating the city to loving it in a day or a week or a month. It’s not an easy place to live, but the rewards are amazing.

I lived in Seattle for 5 years and now I’ve lived in New York for 4 years and 11 months. I want to move back to Seattle someday, but for work and fun and food and culture and art and music and fashion, there is nothing like NYC.

And say what you will about JFK, if you check it’s a lot faster to get your luggage there than at Sea-Tac.
