Why do you think that's cheap... you don't have a car.
If your commute is 2 dollars.... paint me confused.

How much does gas cost/gallon by you? I can assure you that it costs a lot more in NYC and that you would spend a lot more money filling up the same exact car.

If I lived in NYC, I wouldn't have a car, but since Charlotte's mass transit is only in the city proper (and sucky at that), I have to drive.

Fair enough. I only spend $76/month on commuting.

I'd like to congratulate the 4th District of Georgia for kicking the racist, anti-semetic, extremist, soon-to-be-ex congresswoman Cynthia McKinney to the curb.

I find it rather funny that people keep trashing LA just b/c of the stereotype that we're all actors who wait tables. That's really all it is. A stereotype. I've lived my entire life in CA and have never waited a table in my life nor had any desire to join the theatre. The cities I've lived in have included Los Angeles, San Diego, Compton, Long Beach, Bellflower, Downey, Riverside, and Brea.
What I like best about having lived in such different cities in CA is the fact that not one of these cities is anything like the other (well, except for Bellflower & Downey since they are literally right next to each other). The people vary from city to city. That's what I like in cities. I like diversity but I do understand that diversity is not for everyone.
I don't have any cities I hate simply because I have found both good and bad things about cities. Why waste my time hating a geographical location? There are both good and bad things about living in any cities. To each his own.
Why trash talk a city if you've never been there? It's fine if you've been there, experienced the culture, nightlife, etc. of the city but it's pretty stupid to hate any city just based on stereotypes you have based on watching TV.

So if you haven't been to a city, all of your opinions of it are based on stereotypes that come from watching TV?
[The answer to that question, by the way, is NO.]
Who the eff CARES if somebody trashes your city? That's what I don't get.

I agree that there's good and bad things about every city/state/region. It's that sometimes the bad outweighs the good, and the other way around.
With the internet it's pretty easy to get the dirt on just about any well known city. Check out findyourspot.com. Message boards can also be somewhat reliable if many people say the same things about one place, IMO.
