10 Reasons to Love and Hate Your Town

A list of 10 reasons to love/hate New York may make you think about your life in Palm Desert

A recent book took readers through the love/hate relationship with the authors' native New York City.  

Made us wonder...  does anyone have a love/hate relationship with Palm Desert??   

One of my own.. you dont have to drive on 111 to get through Palm Desert - if you can deal with driving on Fred Waring Drive or Country Club.

10. It’s the greatest city in the world – so if you’re bored it’s your own fault.

9. NYC never sleeps – so you feel guilty when you take a nap.

8. You don’t ever have to eat at the same restaurant twice.

7. You don’t ever have to leave your apartment to work, eat, play or in some cases, walk the dog.

6. There are more hoarders here than anywhere, so your place should always be neat.

5. NY teams always win, or should have won, or could have won if only you had been the coach.

4. You never have to worry about parking your car – since usually yours has already been carjacked.

3. Everywhere you go in the city, they are shooting Law & Order, but you still miss Jerry Orbach more than any other actor. (We’ll *star* this cos they’re shooting Law & Order: SVU – but we still miss Jerry!)

2. Everyone you know is either dating, on a date, given up dating or needs a date – whether or not they are married.

1. You don’t mind going to work since your cubicle is roomier than your studio.
