NYC has steadily deteriorated and become quite dirty and crowded over the years..in my last visit ..I was quite put off by the city in general..It was an enigma in the 90s..but there is nothing unique or great about it anymore . Paris has its own issues of thieves and language barriers..but there is so much history..I could spend 2 days just in le Louvre. But my favourite city will always be London

Right now NYC is not safe

Unprovoked attacks,, Murders for no reason, face getting slashed by blade or knife by criminals let out of prison is increasing

Recent attack was an unprovoked one ( like all recent ones) where a man rubbed feces all over a woman's face in Bronx subway...

He walked out free...

Yes unfortunately in combination with other things. I want to move out of NYC asap. Btw, Bronx is part of NYC.

I visited Paris and it is too laid back for my liking. I lived in NYC and London for quite some time. And love both cities over Paris. The vibe, food, culture everything is better in NYC, London than Paris. Maybe if I live in PAris for longer I will like it but I prefere vibrant, young, fast pace cities.

There was time when I walked Times Square everyday to go to work. Before the smart phone era.

Loved every bit of it. NYC hustle bustle. City sky line from Jersey city, NJ. Best place to hang out with friends.

But I wouldn’t stay in NYC. I like living in Suburbs.

I have visited London, it was fun but it’s crowded too. Best part though was that you can get Samosa at almost every train station. 😆

Haven’t been to Paris.

NYC used to feel safe some 15 years back. I had evening classes and would take bus home late at night. Still never was scared. I don’t know how i’d feel now walking down middle town at 11 in the night.

BW will show roses and not thorns 😆

have visited both NY and Paris and wouldn’t want to settle in any of these places.
Too crowded and commercialized/ expensive for my liking.
