yeah, but NYU also has its setbacks.  It's English department isn't that
good, it's home to the biggest bunch of phonies and assholes I've ever seen
in New York (why do you think there's a K-Mart and Starbucks and Barnes and
Noble right on Astor Place???)

>New York doesn't have the
>beauty of nature

Yes it's true that we can't compete with the mountains and lovely green
hills of California, but New York does have its sights.  Do the New York
tourists ever leave Manhattan?  There are parts of Brooklyn where the parks
stretch out three miles along the waterfront...there are parts of Staten
Island (away from the dump), there are places that, yes, surely don't hold
up with "real" nature, but I wouldn't go as far to say that New York doesn't
have the beauty of nature.  A lot nicer than Detroit or Cincinatti...


then again these points are fairly late to the discussion, especially after
Jim's "comparing the two is pretty  useless." comment...

sorry.
