AMEN!!! (To both your thoughts on the subway and your thoughts on NYU, where you get a public school education at private school prices!).

I used top ride the subway at 4 am to my job as a yellow cab driver.

Talk about living dangerously.

I saw so many muggings, blood and corpses during the 2 years I did that I may as well have been living in a war zone.

Not to mention ducking bullets on 4 occasions.

You can drive around the traffic in Miami,its not an island.

New Yorkers are brainwashed into thinking the rest of the country are not as hip or tough as they are.

Thats true enough, but insane taxes and fees, bestial crime, and a city government that will fine you $500 if you forget to turn your cell phone off in the movies and tries to jail you if you defend yourself are not things people should subject themselves to voluntarily.
