I almost forgot two very important reasons I don't like it here that much:
NYC is dirty and it smells - the stench of decaying garbage is everywhere. It's the first thing I notice when I arrive in NYC and now that the summer is heating up it is particular offensive to my olfactory sense. The people also tend to smell, and I'm not referring to the homeless. I don't know if it's because there are a lot of foreigners here and their hygienic habits aren't as fastidious as typical Americans or what, but I constantly keep catching very strong BO from people while walking around.
In comparison, Tokyo has over 13 million people living in it (compared to 8 for NYC) and it's so clean you can practially eat off the sidewalk.
