1In light of the poll about New York... I've lived here all my life and I honestly don't know which way to vote.
City: London
2i vote not crap, just b/c it has its moments. beautiful buildings, great parks, great museums, great shopping.
but jesus. the traffic. and the money hemorrhage (excuse me, haemorrhage) of merely being there, never mind trying to live. and maybe the worst selection of reasonably priced food of any large city i've ever visited. and the shit, pay-to-play music scene (not to denigrate the bands themselves, particularly).
not crap, but not near the top of my list by any means

4If the US dollar were not so pathetically wimpy right now, I would be going back to London this red hot minute. That city has got to be the most accessible city of its size and stature in the world. Easy as pie. I've never felt more welcome anywhere outside of the Deep South.
Any town that serves pork 'n beans with breakfast automatically gets a big NC from me.

You're dead right...

6NOT CRAP.
I studied here, played in bands here, found a partner here, bought a house here, had two kids here.
It's a place where exciting things seem to happen with startling regularity; it's not a comfortable place but it's alive.
NOT CRAP.

10I love it, the only thing is if you live here the cost of housing is way too high in central London.
If London had better weather it would be fantastic.
One of the best things about London is we immigrants! If it wasn't for us the place would fall apart, the Brits don't seem to be able to run a piss-up in a brewery
but we love them just the same. London isn't in Britain, it an international city that just happens to be in the middle of South East England!
