Living in New York is a soul-sucking experience. I spent four years there getting a little more worn out every single day from the sheer ugliness of it all -- the dysfunction of the subway, the crap everywhere on the streets, the mindless pedestrians who cause traffic jams because they can't be bothered to wait five seconds for a red light, the antlike character of its globalized population -- and the fact that there's basically no escape from it if you're a person of ordinary means. Sure, there's lots of nice places to eat out. Lots of places to go shopping, if that's what you like. Then what? You're still an atomized Deep Fried Human Nugget in a fetid cage of urban grid.
It's not even like some big Asian cities where things are neat, the public transit works properly, and people behave themselves (or at least stay quiet and courteous).
I just moved out of NYC after a year and a half. I have to agree with the observation about vs Asian cities. After having visited the likes of Tokyo, Taipei, and Singapore, it's really hard to appreciate NYC. I always found myself comparing NYC to Asian cities and finding it very lacking, both in terms of the city infrastructure and the attractiveness of the women.
At the end of the day, it was very hard to buy into the notion that "NYC is the greatest city in the world."

San Francisco is a horrible place to live too, they are peddling so much bullshit there to normies (read: non-homo, who have aspirations other than career).
I suspect people are much more plugged into the matrix in SF than almost anywhere else in the world. It is a testing ground for Globalism 2.0 as well.
SF: the only place in the world where six-figure software engineers still need to live with roommates past age 30.
I do wonder if there's some broad, low-level mental illness for most young people living in both the SF bay area and NYC, due to both the globalist/feminist indoctrination and the cognitive dissonance between all the propaganda vs reality.
Propaganda: We are disrupting industries and changing the world! It's a gold rush!
Reality: Social media is just making people unhappy, and startups don't make the average worker rich.
Propaganda: SF is such a great city, one of the best in the world.
Reality: Pay $2000 to rent a room or $3000 a month for an old 1 br apartment, see homeless people defecating everywhere and breaking into your car.
Propaganda: NYC is such a great city! You have everything!
Reality: Subway can't run on time, stinks, and is full of trash. Need a lot of money to properly enjoy all the amenities.
