I wish my city had half the transportation of New York.
I would take half the restaurants.
Ah, I see what you did there…
Wish granted, you have all the cars, but no trains or buses.
My ex made me carry a window unit air conditioner someone was throwing away to the subway, take two trains then carry it home. She was visiting from New Orleans and didn’t believe me when I said people leave shit like that on the sidewalk all the time in New York. It was fall. I could very well find another one closer to home.
I guess I don’t understand the reference. How else are you going to get something you bought back to your place? This doesn’t seem weird. I’m not in or from, and have never been to, NYC though, so I’m probably missing something lol
I think it’s because… “rural” people who shit on NYC, yet have never set foot in a modern American city, will hear shit on Fox News and literally believe that the NYC subway is a warzone for rival vagrants to fight to the death, and there’s no way you’d be able to transport something like that without it being stolen, or broken, etc.
I also don’t get it.
Obviously they are not the same if one is comfortable in NYC, on the subway with a chair, and the other one is not.
Is this an idiom I don’t understand? We are not the same? Is it like Kendrick Lamar saying “they not like us”?

Point being. No… You ain’t one for not living in a city, and they ain’t one for not wanting to

Weirdest thing I’ve brought on public transit:
Agreed, but at least the two chairs you brought provided a nice table for that plant.
I live in NYC and never leave the house now what
Do you just…live chairless?
Sometimes I take a break and catch a seat on the turlet.
I spent dickity years on that terlet
Boom, roasted.
My apologies to everyone the one time I needed to get a coffee table to my new apartment on 179st. I was a really broke student and it was too heavy to lug.
One day some lady brought her full grocery store cart she took from No Frills on the bus. I think the driver was just too tired to argue.
Truth be told I think they just let the passengers work it out. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnTGKti2-X0
Okay so I saw someone yesterday also walking home with a chair, but my real question is who the fuck needs just one single dining room chair? Do y’all not have sets?
I mean, I don’t even have a dining room so I guess who am I to talk but it was just confusing to me.

Would you want to carry an entire dining room set while walking or taking the subway home?
It would be difficult to carry even just two non-folding chairs without inadvertently being an asshole to people around you, unless the sidewalks were dead.
Who says she just has one? She might be taking one chair a day home.
It doubles as a weapon on the train once the cage match ensues. Most people use folding chairs, but this one isn’t fucking around.
Does that chair have a hole in the center?
We’re not the same. I like being able to go on a hike after taking 20 steps from my front door. I like hearing and seeing new birds regularly from my window. I like walking my dog without suffocating on the smog of the Manhattan streets.
It’s funny how you can immediately tell when someone has never been to a big city
I’ve been to New York 4 times and to new England many many times. Funny how YOU can’t tell. Sometimes I like to say things that get people riled up. Like saying I like living in the city that I live in. I’m sorry I’m happy?
Yeah, I think you’re being a bit hyperbolic, but I generally agree. I live about an hour from Manhattan (from the Holland, and then another hour to get through lololol), but I’m fifteen minutes from a reservoir that you can hike and boat, fifteen minutes from farms. My town is walkable, and I can walk to a hospital, grocery store, and library in, you guessed it, fifteen minutes. I’m an hour and change from the shore, about the same from the Poconos. I like having access to all the places, but I like to live in suburbia.
Smog hasn’t been a problem in US cities since like the 60s…
More like the '90s and the Montreal protocol, but yeah. It ain’t what it was. Now it’s wildfire smoke from Canada!

That’s fair, but my understanding is that Los Angeles is an extreme case rather than a representative example of a typical American city, in part because of its unfortunate location in a valley and in part because of its sprawl. The fact that pollution is particularly hard to control there is why California is legally uniquely able to apply for its own set of automobile pollution regulations that are stricter than the rest of the country.
Bad air quality still exists. Sorry I’m just not used to that quality of air. My bad?
Air quality is getting worse everywhere thanks to wildfires and the like, but my point was that you don’t look at a city like NYC or Boston and see an orange haze from the smog and leaded gasoline emissions anymore.
The biggest issues with cities largely come down to cars, and having grown up in a summer beach hotspot, I can tell you that it can be just as bad out in the countryside. From noise pollution to emissions to traffic, you can largely thank cars for all of it. Road noise is actually one of the loudest things in a city. In places that have limited access to cars, you can immediately tell the difference.
She put that thing down a tramp will immediately come sleep on it.
