PERSONAL RANT

I went home last night to a black out in Co-Op City.  The lights were out from around midnight to about 4 this morning.  This reaffirms my desire to move out of New York and into a city that is smaller.  Yeah, blackouts and power outages happen in small cities, but I am so tired of high risers.  Reportedly 27 people were trapped in elevators during the outage.  Why live on top of each other where there is always a threat of having to walk up 10-15 floors?
