Clearly, New Yorkers need to up their game. Beat by a bunch of left coast fruits and nuts? For shame!

I wonder how North Jersey would have ranked if it were a 'city' and not just never ending suburban sprawl? I think quite possibly above NYC.

Don't hate. It's so unattractive. I have made peace with the fact that the best and brightest live there and love it and I can't afford it. You should make peace with it too, instead of wallowing in self pity from the obvious fact that you failed at life.

I don't think LA people are rude. This was rigged to make NYC seem more outsider friendly.
