I think the only way to enjoy NYC is to Live in NYC and get around by Taxi, Subway, or bicycle. Commuting is just a horror story.

On the change of seasons thing; Yes I love spring and Fall, spring is best because of it's rebirth. Fall has become quite depressing up here since it announces 8 months of gray/brown trees, grass, etc., bare trees, and no greenery. It's really quite depressing. We won't see any green around here now until May/June. Just think about that a second.

There are some days when it rains that I take a shuttle van from Broadway around City Hall to the World Financial Center which is on the Water front. It's literally two blocks, but it takes 15-20 minutes because of traffic!

Why can't they change New York to be more like Singapore where they charge $150.00 to enter the city and charge city dwellers $50K to register their cars. They also have NO DRIVE zones setup in and around the city to avoid congestion and pollution. I think it's a great idea!

Oh well, I guess the decision has been made. No I need to negotiate that job offer!

Thanks everyone.
