Being that I am a proud out of towner I can’t agree with this thread. Sorry. I feel that out of towners are less rude and actually give people the time of day. We don’t feel like we are in a race and we don’t feel the need to beep our horns if the person in front of us doesn’t cross the intersection exactly when the light turns green. I thank my parents every day for moving out of New York and I hope to raise my children here as well. I have heard a few times where an in town boy is looking for an out of town girl because “out of towners are known for middos.” (quote from a shadchan)
I’m not saying that New Yorkers are horrible. Chas vshalom. I know many New Yorkers that are wonderful people with fine middos. But I’m just saying that even thought New York has maalos there are many reasons why its’s not the best!
