Reasons why New York Sucks

[clee1982]



I need to find somewhere where it is 78-80 during the day and in the low 60s at night. That's my dream summer weather.

Maine is actually pretty close to this.

Don't know exact temperature, but London is very pleasant in the summer (usually anyway), rarely gets that hot, and definitely not that cold either

Seattle. Plus it's not humid, and there's no bugs.

if you want to be rained on every day ...

Bingo--the non-stop rain would be a problem.

i used to believe that NJ drivers were the worst (in the tri-state area) but connecticut drivers are really making a run at the top spot.

i realize that driving in NYC can suck, but its the quasi metro drivers who live near the city that usually end up combining the worst attributes of suburban "distracted and don't care" with hyper aggressive "i'm in NYC and this is how i think I should drive in NYC!" drivers.

You obviously haven't been to College Point or the entirety of Jamaica. Even the bus drivers suddenly become idiots!

The lows are always consistent though, you need a jacket at night, always have.

In August???

Indeed. This is the beauty of NorCal coastal living.

It's extremely dry during our abbreviated summer. July - Sept. we typically see little to no rain. Not even storms. The other 9 months of the year, yes, you're getting damp (and pale).

If there's one thing that residents of NY, NJ and CT can agree on it's that MA drivers are the worst.

It's been downhill since they fixed the on-ramps on the Merritt. They used to weed out the bad drivers of a Darwinian way.

Wait until you haven't seen the sun for 90 days straight and you're scraping the moss from behind your ears.

I've noticed that PA drivers are generally ignorant of "most rules of the road" and very unobservant drivers in general.

the day i drive through PA and do NOT hit a construction zone will be a day to celebrate with fancy champagne.

Anyone ever been to the John Dory oyster bar? I think it was 28th off Broadway. Went last week. Not a bad place.

 

[gomestar]

that's the place where an oyster got my wife sick and she hasn't been able to eat shellfish since.

Ouch. Maybe won't be returning then.
