8/1     I take back (almost) everything I ever said bad about NYC.  The
        people are generally nice and well-dressed, the food is really good,
        you can always get cabs, and I haven't encountered anyone who tried
        to bite me or who eats babies yet.  Three thumbs up, it's expensive
        but a really cool place.  -John
        \_ Obviously, you never lived there for a long time. How long were
           you there? NYC, great to visit, not so great to live.
           \- in my experience something really changed there post-Guilliani
              \_ good or bad?
                 \_ It depends on your politics.
           \_ Good lord no, I thought that was pretty clear and obvious.  My
              friends here are paying $4200/mo. for a 2rm. apartment, along
              with people who pay others to walk their dogs and can't find
              parking, EVAR.  I was just commenting on how it was a nice place
              to visit.  -John
