In “City Limits” by Colson Whitehead, Colson illustrates how he feels that New York city is the best city to live in and no other cities can compare to it. Its a good place to live in because it has a lot of opportunities like schools and jobs. You can be living here for a month and if they changed the name of something you will always know what it was before. No matter where you go or if you came to visit New York, you will always know that it is your home. Everybody will see the city in many different ways and say a whole bunch of myths about it but you will always see the city in your own point of view. Also there are eight million people living in the city and they can replace your neighborhood in many different ways but you will always see it exactly how it was when you first moved in. Also you will never get to say goodbye to any any of these things because you won’t get to know when will be the last time you will go there. When the “city goes and buildings topple too” is a strong quote Colson uses to describe what the city truly is. We have to realize no matter what happens in our city our lives goes on. Our city will always be here and nobody can take our city away from us. Colson follows this city with a guide book that is a ” handy color-coded map and minuscule fine print” that i think is the brochure he mentions in the beginning of the story.
