After dropping to No. 5 last year from the previous year's top spot, New York
City has once again been named the "Dirtiest City" in America.

Travel + Leisure magazine conducted an online poll of 50,000 people to
determine which large American city is the worst for grit and grime, based on
such factors as litter and air pollution and even the taste of the local tap
water.

The cities ranking near the top of the list as the dirtiest are "big, and
most have a bustling nightlife," the magazine observes. "Partiers tend to be on
the younger side — and that may add to the disarray."

New York was also chosen as the loudest city and the rudest city, and the
worst for affordability, although it ranked first for its theater, stylish
locals, diversity, and luxury stores.

Never been to NY, and don't really feel the need.

Cannot say that I'm surprised. I have watched the City gradually decay over the past 30 years. There were a couple of hopeful moments, like when Rudy Giuliani was mayor. But invariably the light spots fade and we return to the path of decay. Regular people have a very hard time surviving in NYC, particularly Manhattan. You must either be ultra rich, or hopelessly poor. The ultra rich are the only one's who can afford the bloated cost of living and the hopelessly poor, ironically, are enabled by the government to afford living in the City. NYC is a study in the shrinking middle class; a microcosm of what the United States will look like as the socialist tyranny we are becoming.

Absolutely no surprise here ..

The rest of the list is also not surprising either ..

(just surprised New Orleans didn't edge out NYC .. )

Southerners are some of the friendliest people I've met.
