<p>Seattle seems cool after watching Grey's, Also San Diego was THE CHILLEST place i've ever visited. It's a new meaning to laid back. Yeah, whoever was talking about DC, metro's great, if you have money to blow. The city, after seeing the monument, captial, white house, blah, blah, blah, is boring for a teen. I never go there (I live in the suburbs) except because they have awesome food, hairdressers (lol, but i'm serious) and the teen clubs are great. Except the teen clubs don't even matter anymore because they're being shut down. (too many fights, stupid ghetto kids!) Um, of course, #1 would be NYC. I love that city so much. It's like, undicribable (spell check?) All the different neighborhoods, old and new, rich and poor, shiny and dull, all meshing together to make one...perfect.</p>
<p>"Don't know about Toronto, but I know that Sydney has a lot of problems with Immigrants from the Middle East. Didn't you see the race riots they were having on the beaches over there? They were all over the news a few weeks back."</p>
<p>I realise it was all over the news and it looked really bad (and it was really sad)... however, i live a 5 min walk from the centre of sydney and i did not see ONE problem/angst/fight the whole week it was plasterd on the news.</p>
<p>The fights were mainly situated in cronulla (a 45 min drive away) and Maroubra/brighton-le-sands (20 mins drive away). They started as aparantly a group of lebanese boys beat up life guards at cronulla so then people retaliated as they thought our police force did not do enough in punishing the boys. While fear spread and people went out to protect thier mosque it spread into some suburbs but more as people standing around carparks of church/mosques than actually being violent.</p>
<p>From what i saw of overseas news reports they made it look like the WHOLE of sydney was one big brawl. It lasted for about 3 days but now my parents go to the beach nearly every day and there is no problem. </p>
<p>I just wanted to say that the reports were exagerated. I am in no way denying that it happend. It did and it was a horrible occurance. I hope it does not happen again.</p>
<p>NYC all da way</p>
<p>It is clear from most of the posts --- That the San Francisco Bay Area is the best place to live in the United States but it does not come cheap.</p>
<p>I`D love TO live in NYC. yeah i live in the san francisco bay area.
its pretty awesome.
actually i don't live quite near SF, i live in a tiny asian-dominated suburb that is close to San Jose. you may have heard of it in the "white flight" article by suein hwang in the wall street journal?
It is pretty boring if you ask me, but I like that its safe. Housing is pretty expensive but if you really work for it, you can scrape by with a nice townhome or apartment.</p>
