Well stated, FB...you are, of course,wrong
I feel the same way about
some big cities. SF, for instance, like another poster wrote of NYC, is a series of small towns that make a big city: I am very comfortable in most of SF.
I enjoyed NYC in my 20's and 30's because I had a lot of friends living in the city and they had a wide network of native New Yorker's as friends...I had the inside track to a lot of really neat experiences; a, as the saying goes, movable feast.
I think HD is going to do very well...he has the exact right attitude going in. Homework is key.
I worked part time for an investment house on Wall Street doing UAS investment analysis of companies in the UAS market. I did it for three years until I went full time with my own companies. I worked as a consultant a lot in those days.
I spent two days a month in person with them. The first night, me a total newb, take the train up and stay at a hotel across the street from GCS. Nice place, nothing to write home about.
I open the door to my room and a rat, I guessing of average size, scurries until the bed and disappears. I call the front desk.
"This is an old hotel, Sir, there is really nothing we can do."
I stay the night and check out a day early. The Wall Street guys look at me like I am a complete idiot: "We'll take care of where you stay, Sparky...not a city guy, huh?"
Yup.
