I get it. I grew up in the City in the 50s and 60s and finally threw in the towel in 1995. The insanity just wasn't worth it anymore.
Ironically, the City actually used to work pretty well. However, decades of attracting extreme oddballs from across the country put paid to that approach.
It hasn't helped that residents are not only expected to put up with the incompetence of their elected betters – they keep returning them to office!
