Why I hate New York

I never go to New York. Since my last time in NY I've been to San Francisco, LA, Washington D.C., Sydney, Wellington, Tokyo, Paris, London, Berlin, Tel Aviv, Venice, Hong Kong, Toronto, and a lot of other cities as well as other types of travel. But I feel like they always mistreat me in New York. Frank Bruni's articles about bad actors in the restaurant business often confirmed my aversion. Here's today's New York cheaters story from the New York Times:

About 3,000 New York City taxi drivers routinely overcharged riders over two years by surreptitiously fixing their meters to charge rates that would normally apply only to trips outside the five boroughs, according to the city’s Taxi and Limousine Commission.
