Speaking about New York, there’s definitely something to lying in bed on the 21st floor, with skyscrapers towering over you. It’s enjoyable for short periods of time.
One thing I’ve found hard in New York is getting used to the fact that transportation by car is pretty much not an option. Traffic is so bad in Manhattan that cabs or rideshare are extremely slow and expensive. And after watching all 28 seasons of SVU, there’s no likelihood I’m going into the subway. You have to walk everywhere, and I like walking but this isn’t like walking in Madrid. There’s garbage everywhere, it reeks of pot, and we ran into a naked transgender on our first full day here.
On the positive side, I have solved the mystery of why New Yorkers elected Mamdani. They spend all day inhaling marijuana fumes. They are simply high all the time without knowing it.
