"I view great cities as pestilential to the morals, the health and the liberties of man. True, they nourish some of the elegant arts; but the useful ones can thrive elsewhere; and less perfection in the others, with more health, virtue and freedom, would be my choice."

-Thomas Jefferson.

I lived in NYC many years ago for about a year and a half and it made me go crazy - I hated it!
