Reactionary

To the city in which I live:

1. The exhorbitant city tax: It makes state tax look like birdseed.
2. The Motorists: They’re allowed to drive like maniacs. And then people wonder why so many kids get hit by cars.
3. The Mayor: Why is he still in office? He should have had his ass tossed out once the scandal began.
4. Cheesesteaks: Who thought of this awful confection?
5. The subway: Expensive, dirty, useless, strike-prone.
6. The Victim Mindset: It’s fostered and allowed to thrive, hence the huge rate of doctors leaving the area.
7. Laziness: Nothing else to say.
8. The underutilized riverfronts: There have been attempts made but nothing really convincing. I live here and I’ve only hung out there twice. Twice.
9. No Hot Men: Nothing else to say. The specimens that exist think they’re all that and make no effort to improve.
10. Underutilized Resources: There’s a small community who makes the most out of the art and culture scene but citywide, it’s not a viewpoint that’s pushed.

It’s not like I hate where I live. This is only an attempt to tabulate the things I don’t like about it. So what about the good things? That’s another post.
