Region Reasons

New York City is among the many populated cities within the Northeast. I use populated to the highest degree, in that it thrives as a metropolitan area filled with urbanized subdivisions such as Chinatown or Little Italy that are not only distinctively cultural but staggered with modern living arrangements and stores that just about anyone can use them as places for living and visiting . Not that being populated is that big of a deal, considering that mobility is very well organized with it's mass transit systems, but it's good to note that having millions of people dwell within a city requires much more consumption and economic pressures, resulting in some percentage of poverty and decay.

So what's with me and liking this city so much? The idea that such a city can have a lot of activity within a wide range of cultural and natural zones astonishes me. Sure, there's a lot of history related to the area and it's many structures, but speaking for those non-tourists, I would hope that they could see the similarities within the differences of the subdivided areas are at least intriguing, multi-functional and multi-ethnic. As dense a place as it can be, New York City is significantly different from the spread-out Los Angeles that I live in, and it confines so much in its metropolitan area that there is a wealth of abundant activity and communication. Thankfully, New York City is within a region that has the ability to do what it does best: generate and unite everyone dwelling in it, no matter what color, nationality, religion, or economic status.
