Big Cities and the North in general

All big cities suck! Rude people, smell, dense and constant traffic, high crime, dirty, expensive... I don't care what country you are in they are all the same...

 

My brother is a LEO in a suburb. He says that the homeless population keeps migrating into his city. They still prosecute vagrancy laws, etc. It is still easier for them to tell the bums to cross back into the leftist enclaves. He is counting the days until he can retire back to Michigan. He says liberal prosecutors, police chiefs and mayors are destroying the state.

 

I'snt Michigan where that muzzie Tlaib is conspiring to ruin America ?? Get your brother to run for office .

 

Retired, and moved from the insanity of Atlanta to East Tennessee where life is more positively intense. The folks around here still drive like a bunch of Damned Yankees though, seems to be a virus in our society promulgated by Hollywood.

 

I've been to some pretty big cities -
In Atlanta, the vehicle I was riding in got shot at - nobody got hit but the hole was pretty scary. Las Vegas is Gang Central these days. The list can go on...
Traffic, crime, pollution etc - all good reasons to stay away from urban centers....

OTOH,
Other big cities are not so bad - Tokyo, Osaka are nice enough and clean.

 

Yes, I live in a metro area. I hold no love for the place but is where I am at. On week days I drive on a three lane interstate that backs up every day. I have no desire to spend the rest of my life here and look forward to getting far away from here but this is currently where I live.

Developing a bug in or bug out plan while living on the fringe of a metro area is quite the exercise.

 

Yes, I want to kick the southeast corner out of Michigan. They can be their own state. Leftist politicians already think that Wayne County is the only county in Michigan. He kind of looks like a politician, but he has had enough politics at the police station.

 

Not a separate state, how about something like what happened to those in Egypt that did not have lamb's blood on their door threshold, only not just the first born.

 

I drove up I79 through West Virginia last week, that is nice territory! I would love to live out there in the mountains.

 

I wouldn't blame the north geographically except for the horrible winters.

As a millwright and traveling man, I've worked or wandered in all the states North or East of DFW and most of the other contiguous ones. Country folks are about the same all over and there have been few places I couldn't find a kindred soul to yack with in a country setting.

Big cities are a challenge. I don't care for the filthy human infested cities beyond brief tourism or making money. (I'm admittedly a geek for architecture)

Of the big cities that I've liked I'd probably go with Charleston, SC and the conglomerate of Long Island, NY.

I'm in and from DFW. Traffic and greed have ruined Dallas as a city to live in. Some of the burbs like Weatherford, Ennis, or Granbury aren't too bad yet.

 

Update: Home now. I left at 3 am thinking I would beat the traffic. Left Glen Burnie and was fine until I got to I-95 and hit the traffic. Didn't get out of traffic and into "cruise control traffic" (where you can actuall set the cruise and relax a bit) until south of Richmond. At 4 am the flow North was a constant sea of cars.
No offense meant to most of the dwellers. Except when I stopped for a Pepsi and pack of nabs and the fellow in front of me didn't have his money with him for his banana and coffee. I told the cashier I had him covered and the customer quickly told me "Ain't no white M***F*** buying me Sh%t" and walked out. So glad to be home...

 

Well,Now you know who not to help or offer assistance too....Just keep on trucking!

 

I gave $100.00 to a black (friend) because he was in a bind and told him to repay when he got ahead. I’ve never asked for the money back It’s going on three years and I guess he’s still in a bind. He will not return my calls,goes out of the way to keep from seeing me,but he still tells my friends it’s me not calling and I’m the one who’s dodging him. Go figure. Some people you cannot help and I won’t help him again. I guess his friends could not stand him having a white friend. Please let me state I do not look at color when picking friends,I guess I will from now on.I am not a racist I just learned how to pick friends after that.

 

The USA is always being unfavorably compared to other countries, especially in respect to crime, education, gun violence, etc. The biggest difference between countries like Japan, Switzerland, Iceland, Finland, Singapore, etc. and the USA is a lack of freedoms that we take for granted and a much more homogeneous population.
