->''"It was only my sister who could force me to come to this god-awful city. The city that roars down on you. She loved it all. The muggers, the winos, the bag ladies, the wall-to-wall noise. She loved it because it had nothing to do with our childhood. Luke and I hated it for exactly the same reason."''

And all these young writers, Creator/GerryConway and Creator/MarvWolfman and Creator/LenWein and those guys were living in New York. And not only were they living in New York, they were working for slave wages, so they were not living in the nice parts of New York.''"

->''"New York is a self-imposed prison where people convince themselves to live in rat-infested shoeboxes that each cost more than a mansion in the Poconos. Then they spend every summer getting on overheated, nonfunctional trains to vacation where ''every other'' New Yorker is vacationing... There is no escaping that the walls are closing in on you at all times, and that your children will need a $70,000-a-year private school or they will DIE. The city has become an unlivable, hideously expensive mess. New York hates human existence. New York is a shitty Music/JayZ song where he’s going on about how great he is and everyone pretends not to notice he’s a wheezing old butt rocker."''

If Bell's California gets its atmosphere from 50' s beach blanket movies and radical cats from soft drink commercials, then its NY is born of 70' s and 80' s cinema, where knife-welding sleaze-gangs mug, rape, and cackle their way through the hellish network of grey, stinking alleyways and smoke-belching drains."''
