In contrast there is a layer of garbage and grime everywhere in New York City. So much so that after a day of walking around in the summer, you can turn a white handtowel black just by wiping the sweat off your brow...
That's because the NYC summer is hot, not because the city is dirty. (Maybe you have oily pores?)
- rdouble 17y agoThat's because the NYC summer is hot That's true, but it's still a dirty city. However, it's a different type of dirty than SF. The dirty parts of SF are dirty due to insanity and apathy. NYC is dirty because there are so many people out and about, all the time.
