A city may be dirty on the outside but is clean on the inside. Many cities in the world are clean on the outside but dirty on the inside.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
New York is an ugly city, a dirty city... But there is one thing about it. Once you have lived in New York and it has become your home, no place else is good enough.
Cities are not static objects to be feared or admired, but are instead a living process that residents are changing all the time.
Living in the city is a discordant thing, an unnatural thing. The city, a place to which one goes to do business, is a place where men overreach each other in the fight for money. But it is not a place in which one can live.
Cities all over the world are getting bigger as more and more people move from rural to urban sites, but that has created enormous problems with respect to environmental pollution and the general quality of life.
Cities are the origins of global warming, impact on the environment, health, pollution, disease, finance, economies, energy are all problems that are confronted by having cities. That's where they - all these problems come from.
In the city, you're always looking around, observing everything. In some neighborhoods, your life can depend on it. The details change constantly.

If you properly clean a room, it gets dirtier before it gets cleaner.
Just two days in Manhattan and you find yourself looking for a place to wash your handkerchief after you wipe your forehead and it comes away black. Is there a dirtier or more fascinating city anywhere in the land? The answer to both parts of the question has to be positively negative.
When you leave New York, you are astonished at how clean the rest of the world is. Clean is not enough.
