    New York, New York, a once helluva town. Not now.

    Ideally, I think it's better to live in a small town, and live within
    50 miles from a large city.

    But living somewhere on Long Island has always been a better choice
    for many.

    When everybody feels this way, you get a city like Houston.

    WashDC, New York, Boston, etc. I think most American cities probably
    suffer similar ills. I remember a poll back in the 2005-2006 era that
    showed that a lot of people working in WashDC had a commute of 90+
    minutes each way. Pretty horrifying.
