Vast Hell

For me, my vast hell would have to be new york city. I think that i have a passionate hatred for Manhattan. There is not one reason i would like to live in the city except for job opportunity. Even so, it would take a lot to make me work there. I can not stand all of the noise, strange people, smelly air, and traffic. One cannot even sleep in an apartment without hearing constant sirens, people yelling, and car horns at all hours of the night. In addition everything is much more expensive than anywhere else. A young professional will end up spending over half of their salary on rent alone. You try taking a walk and get approached by a smelly homeless person begging for change. You then step in the remnants of a persons dog feces. Then you try crossing the street and almost get plowed over by a crazy taxi driver. I drive into manhattan and almost smash into a deliverman who thinks he owns the road on his bicycle. There is not one aspect of manattan that i like and could care less if i ever go there again.
