That's just an engineering problem as well.

This actually jives with my personal experience living in NYC. New Yorkers have a reputation for being stone cold with strangers, but the truth is that anytime somebody approaches …

I'm confused. Are you saying specifically that you think the experiences described in this article are for the good of the country? Or do you think they're an exaggeration/lie.
