Another thing that I love about New York is that we are so much more civil to each other than other big cities. I believe that it has to do with not being in cars all the time. We deal with each other face to face.
Remember the Rodney King verdict? There was rioting in LA, and many other cities. Not in NYC.
Remember last year's black out? Only four reported crimes in the entire city. New Yorkers went to traffic intersections, and directed the traffic so that everyone could get home safely. We checked up on our elderly and disabled neighbors. Then blackout turned into the Great Cocktail Party of 2003, and I hope that we have another one this year.
