Police helicopters

The local Council

Sharia law mf's

People in cars who use the pavement as a road/car park

People who sound their horns alot, especially at night

People who think I want to actually hear the exaust/engine of their maxed out c*nt mobile

Bad drivers

Those c**ts that grow bollocks when they are in a group yet are affraid of their own shadow when solo

Those c**ts that grow bollocks when they are in a car

Lazy f**ckers that cannot take rubbish to the local refuse centre, and dump it on the street instead (fly tippers)

Lazy fu**ers that park in Disabled parking slot to save them walking 15 extra foot steps

Barefaced Liers

Fraudsters, in local gov.

Politics dressed as religion and visa versa

"Property Developers" AKA Wannabe business men spending their family pot whilst they work out a reason to be. They buy 2 extra homes, chop down all trees, concrete over the garden and make it look like Bagdad. Rip out all original features and piss off the elderly neighbour by bribing council officials into giving them permission to be build a bungalow to house extended family at the top their garden, which means that the lady can no longer enjoy her garden as she likes peace and quiet her friends stop visiting due to harrassment, she dies alone, and then the property developing fraudster c*nt buys her house aswell and joins the two houses together and add out houses with walls at odd angles before selling the lot to a Mosque organisation or meeting.....

Mart- serious question:

Have you ever lived in another city? I find most Torontonians don't realise/appreciate they live in one of the best cities in the World.

This isn't too bad. I'd trade this over the gripes I have concerning the city of Chi.

[Alanda Marquette from DiscoLadyLand]

I have no complaints where I live. However, I am concerned about the high rate of violence in the Chi. I pray constantly for an end to the madness. Everyday I just thank God for another peaceful day where my children can play; in the same breath I pray for whatever evil spirit that dwells among the youth is uprooted.

As a parent we HAVE to be more responsible for our children. If you live in a neighborhood where violence is prevalent, don't send your child to the store at night, or let them stay out late. It's horrible but the parent may have to keep their children indoors or get on a bus a go somewhere so their children can play. I grew up in Englewood & South Chicago, my mother and grandmother rarely let us go outside in the neighborhood. My mother always planned weekend "downtown" trips, trips to the playground in another area of the city and we went riding around to get outside of our area. The point is that I am making is that people need to either get more creative with their time and spend it with their kids or they need to become more vigilant in calling the police for their safety. Which is part of the reason why the violence is crazy now because people are too afraid of retaliation.

[Chris Wood]

Being an outnumbered english speaker... in an english town

the amount of large BMWs / Mercedes driven at high speeds with skinny asian guys who can barely see over the steering wheel

people spitting in the street

people walking down the street blaring music out of mobile phones - usually shite rnb/ hip hop

[Pang]

.

I see cats walking down the street all the time talking into the mic and then putting it up to their ear to listen . . strangest thing I've ever seen.

[Mack-Williams]

No complaints. Only I wish we had is club owned by a real party goer downtown. Like NY has Shelter. Would love to wake up Sunday around 10 and go party.

[travy]

my city is too expensive top to bottom which is slowly making it only possible for rich douchebags to live or run a business here. it infects everything around us too, from overpriced shoebox apartments to mom and pop business driven out of business by rising rents, to a shitty nightlife scene populated by rich lame-o's who think paying too 20 bucks for shitty drink in a poorly decorated bar is the height of night culture. everything that's made nyc great over the last 3 decades is being flushed down the toilet by skyrocketing real estate prices... oh yeah, fat hipsters suck too...

You wrote my response for me except it does not only have to be located downtown.....thank you

All of these, plus...

The excessive amount of violence (100 more physical assaults than NY, this is with a population of 500,000 compared to NY's 20million)

The physical and verbal abuse our emergency services receive from gangs of ignorant, worthless youths.

Alcohol abuse.

Gluttony (The most obese nation in the West, after the USA)

The complete lack of awareness for anyone other than yourself, whether it be blocking a supermarket aisle with your sideway shopping trolley, parking across two spaces, parking across driveways, sitting in the middle lane of the motorway, blah, blah, blah..

Lazy kids with their gross lunchtime eating habits, akin to 16th century peasants, and their litter which attracts seagulls.

Arseholes who drive 4x4s in an urban setting (with driving skills so bad they couldn't handle a Mini.)

The attitude that no-one should improve or make the most of themselves. It's uncool to actually learn or have an interest in things.

The sad thing is....I could go on and on and on....if you asked me what I liked about my city I'd be really hard pushed to come up with one thing.

[Ayo]

*would be nice if folks first put the city so we'll know!*

1. Houses are too expensive
2. East African drivers
3. Neighborhoods being taken over by cliques (the baby clique, the artsy fartsy clique, the gay clique) - thereby making the neighborhood homogeneous
4. No cool or clean body of water (nasty ass potomac)

[geo]

This isn't too bad. I'd trade this over the gripes I have concerning the city of Chi.

To my point- Toronto folks have it easy. lucky so and so's.

Definetely a lack of good house music spots though. You folk in Chicago and NY get me real jealous at w/ends.

4. No cool or clean body of water (nasty ass potomac)

to add:

5. we're built over a swamp, so we're extremely humid - making for bad hair days from spring to fall!
6. we're a rather conservative town (not in our politics, but in our amenities/nightlife/fashion/etc.)
7. it's a transient/transplant city, so every few years people shift in and out (it's a pro and a con)

and the number one thing i don't like about living in D.C. is ...




The taxpaying residents of Washington, DC, however, are denied the most basic civil rights. Without representation in Congress, DC voters literally have no say in the laws they are required to follow. The District is the only jurisdiction in the United States where Americans fulfill all the responsibilities of citizenship but are denied equal rights.

Baltimore

1. When the nickname is Charm City/Baltimore is more closely associated as Harm City/Bodymore & it's true.
2. The only place the gov't fixes up in the Inner Harbor.
3. The huge amount of abandoned homes & homeless...something just doesn't add up here.
4. The 'dead' eyes I encounter on a daily basis on the youth here in the City.
5. getting on I-83 & getting stuck in traffic when I trying to just get to a place that should only take me 10 mins with no traffic.
6. BGE's rate increase. (Baltimore Gas 'n Electric)
7. The trash thrown all over the place (but there are no trashcans)
8. Muffintops on men & women. (Y'all already know.)
9. The drop-out/graduation rate is abissmal (HS).

10. If the average person--they'd do better...but we don't try educate & assist.

Bonus: It's perfectly acceptable to have multiple children by multiple partners.
