[OT] Best and Worst American Cities according to Europeans

I'm not American (but live in America) and you couldn't pay me to live in Miami, I am not American, and I consider it by far the best city in the country as do Italians, French and South Americans. most Americans feel the same way and that's why there are few of them actually live there. That's a good thing. San Diego is great, wonderful climate, Except the water is freezing ass cold and the beaches don't compare to Miami. Miami is much nicer and more sophisticated. You can go eat authentic ethnic food at 3 am in Miami like only in NYC. In San Diego clubs close at 1.30 am. love NYC if it wasn't for their nasty winters. San Francisco is one of my favourite places (specially to eat) SF is overrated. I live there before you ask. Boston is a cesspit. Most intellectual city. My vote would go for San Diego as the best and then any of the Carolina coastal towns where you get all the seasons but nothing too severe as far as weather. Are you a redneck? |

"Jack Hollis" wrote in message ... Miami would be nicer if the weather was a bit cooler. WHAT?!?!??! Are you crazy? Miami is awsome especially cause it's never cold! 72 is the low in the winter. Yes and 90 with 90% humidity and daily downpours in the summer. The summer showers last no more than 30 mins in the late afternoon tipically. I personally love the sun and the warm weather and so do Europeans since they actually have a life (vacations) besides working. He could always try Tampa it's a bit cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter than Miami/ Lived in Tampa for two years, Austin four years, and now since 6 months ago in SF. Never lived in Miami but visited tons of times. Easily best city in the country with NYC. |

I like italians and have spent much time in italy. Their women look so fantastic when young, but I also noticed all those old hags in black dresses. How did that happen?!!? Their italian food doesn't taste as good as the american version of each type. Too much olive oil puddled on everything. BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA Bottom line: being liked by the french is an insult and hated by them a compliment. |

I lived in NYC for 25 years and now live in San Diego. I loved living in New York but as I grew older the hot, humid summers and cold winters got me down. San Diego has a climate where one can be out and active all year round and it is nice living in one of the beach communities. Much of inland San Diego is typical of other American cities -- strip malls, shopping malls. The food does not measure up to New York, and nor does the diversity of the people. Overall, it is a very pleasant place to live. Interestingly today New York is warmer than San Diego at 71F while San Diego temps peaked at 62F. |

That's easily my favorite US city. San Diego's great. Love the weather. And San Francisco - awesome. 5 Worst (typical American cities): Houston Dallas Pittsburgh Detroit Cleveland I'd say these are not the best places for vacationing. Especially Detroit. Most Overrated (these cities are not necessarily bad, just plain overrated by Americans who have no standards): New Orleans Austin Los Angeles Chicago Las Vegas These last 5 are just wrong. LA has a lot to do. It's really very large, there's something for everyone. And Las Vegas, well, it's for gambling and whatever other vices you have. What's not to like? I don't think I'd go there for intellectual stimulation or great architecture, but it's sure got everthing else for entertaining a person. Chicago's nice. A mini NYC. Do Americans agree? |
