Hyperbole
A thing that is not so bad about living in New York is that you can get away with living your life as exaggeratedly as possible. Can you do that other places? I don't know! I don't care, either. Not really. I feel like if you live somewhere like Flint, Michigan, you can easily talk about how it is the worst place ever. But you can never talk about how it is the best. Because you would have nothing to back up that assertion. The same holds true for living in Napa or something. You can say that it's the best, but never that it's the worst. What's cool about living in New York is that it is both the best and the worst at the same time. Everything is really extreme. Even our storms are out of control. Nothing is normal here and so everything is better. Or worse. Which is also kind of the best.
