I don't <3 NY

With apologies to my friends and family who love the city.  I know my post seems out of the blue, but I've just had a young friend return from a visit just bubbling with how great it is, and a young cousin return there with an obvious joy and a sense of coming home.  It isn't that I disagree with them, just that my own experience of the city has been tainted by, well by my experiences in the city.
