Doubt I could live in NYC

Now, on my third trip to NYC I'm finally able to experience what it is like to live in this city, and I'm not sure it's something that I would want to do.
NYC is certainly one of the dirtiest major first world cities that I've visited.
Part of this cities dirtiness I'll attribute to construction and the cleaning methods of the city, and part I'll attribute to how people who live here care for their city.

This city also seems to be very difficult to find things I'm looking for. Khaki pants that I like, used bicycles that I like, and alterations shops.

I currently live in Germany, and was excited to be back in America where nearly everyone would speak English. Hmm… well, I was certainly wrong about that. One because I chose to stay in a very hispanic neighborhood, and also because NYC is a very popular city for people from all over the would to visit.

Maybe it is just large cities that aren't right for me.
Businesses are doing everything they can here to earn a reasonable profit, seemingly to mean that they pack as much as they can into their stores. Laundromats end up in such small spaces and so many machines that they are unable to fit in many chairs or counters to fold laundry.

Many of the people here, who still decide to drive in the city, still drive very large cars. Why? Why do they think it is a good idea to buy a large car for a city with few parking spaces and very very crowded streets.

It is pretty fun thought, to have a 10 mile commute that can take an hour.
Oh, wait, no, it isn't.

NYC is not a city for shy people, and I'm a shy person.
