haha look at all the people in this thread getting butt hurt because a kid called out new yorkers. tehe. I lived in western conn. for five years. I was 45 min out of NYC and visited many times. Most people that lived in my neighborhood, and my town, and the towns around my town, commuted there. And guess what? They all fit the description OP has made. Selfish, rude, keepingupwiththejoneses-ish, ect. And honestly, NYC is cool...to visit...occasionally...but jesus, to live there would fucking suck.
