I live in the greatest city int he world:

This is right near where I live, and I'd like to note it's not nearly so skeevy a neighborhood as this piece makesit out to be -- yes the neighborhood has street traffic, particularly at night, but life here is also filled with young professionals, children, a diverse ethnic mix, and a rather gentrified population. My parents like to come down here -- it's not how they describe it.

When I was young, I desperately wanted to live in NY. Now I remember why. Great article! Wave to the tree man for me.
