Do Northern New Yorkers and Southern New Yorkers hate each other? Does New York have more skiing than almost every other state? And do people really pee on the subways? We’re gonna answer those questions and more. So let’s catch a cab driven by a creepy guy who smells like curry as we get ready to unbox New York State. The state of New York is a very complex place that can’t be summarized completely in just one video. But, we’ll give it the whole big picture overview version so you get an idea of exactly what this state is all about. It’s larger than you think, and has awesome beaches, big cities, trashy rednecky towns and beautiful mountains and lakes. And it’s very diverse. In fact, it’s the 6th most diverse state when you consider the number of races and cultures that make New York State home. New Yorkers like to think they’re the big fish in America.Since the internet has started, there have been lots of memes made to poke fun at just how self-centered New Yorkers truly are. To completely understand New York, you need to understand the various regions of the state. As we do in all of our videos, we’ll break the state up into easy to understand and overly simplistic regions. For New York, you could easily break the state up into three main areas. New York City itself, the New York metro area, and the rest of the state, called Upstate. As we’ll see later, the exact boundaries of Upstate New York are debatable. New York City is broken up into five boroughs - Manhattan, The Bronx, Queens, Staten Island and Brooklyn. To get a complete understanding of how many people are crammed into New York City, we can look at a population density map. New York City has more than 8 and a half million people packed into a little area. http://www.geog.canterbury.ac.nz/cgta/pdfs/probny.pdf https://www.baruch.cuny.edu/nycdata/public_safety/crime-selectcities.htm https://www.insidehook.com/article/crime/crime-rates-in-nyc-the-lowest-in-modern-history https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/19/nyregion/uber-nyc-deblasio.html https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/012315/how-expensive-new-york-city-really.asp https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_population https://www.flickr.com/photos/kaeru/169513421 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwLWdykpbv8 SUBSCRIBE to get REGIONAL INFORMATION about where YOU live: http://bit.ly/2deRUSV Our goal is to combine recent data, fun videos, and thoughts about local culture into bite-sized snacks of shareable information. We call it bite-sized regional infotainment. We try to paint a picture of what’s happening in a region based on “Friday Night Science” — how’d you argue at a bar. To do that, we gather data from around the web to help determine a wide array of factors about where you live, things like safety, desirability, and culture. We have another channel, too, which has other cool videos.
