It can be anything (laws, citizen attitude, climate, debris, etc., etc.)
What is the thing about your city that irks you the most?

For me, it's the roads. They're horrible; even though it's more of a Michigan thing than an Oak Park thing.

Smog and air pollution, due to the tons of factories we have here.

I don't live in the city. My gripe with the town is it's so small, there's nothing to do, and anytime there's something good around, they get rid of it.

Mayor Bloomberg and our County Executive. Bloomberg should not have been allowed to run a 3rd term. This is the guy that had to build stadiums while making the tax payers suffer and made all kinds of cuts in schools, transit, police etc. He also has hiked the prices on the bridges to the point where you could buy a dinner for 2 just crossing the bridge to Staten Island from Long Island. Our county executive is just as bad, our school taxes are the highest in the entire country. I resent this because I don't have any kids in school.

Other than that NYC is a fun, cultural experience for anyone that wants to visit, its truly the most unique city in the world.

I guess the worst thing here is that people are not open to new ideas. It is not a small city, but not over 150,000. The introduction of roundabouts was taken with such extreme fear that it was embarrassing.

The worst thing about Jersey? Lawdy, lord, lord, lord.
I'll be back....
