Everybody Hates A Tourist is a hilarious name, you people are taking tourist bashing far to personally.

You can be a tourist even if you live down the street. Cool places to check out can be found on almost every nook and cranny of this nation. The images of people gawking with cameras crowding intersections and spending money on silly things is something one might say everybody loves to hate.

I think its an awesome title for a list, so I created 5 more lists just like this for
Boston,
Chicago,
Detroit,
Michigan

and the USA itself.

The title of this theme should be “Jealous Locals that cannt travel: New York”. Do a they really hate foreigners or just themselvelves for not taking time to explore and discover another world? All the places listed here seem to be important historical or interesting highligts. I’m sure that locals have also visited these places, if not, they should not call themselves good citizens, perhaps they never travel themselves? Why hate people that come from afar to admire your city. Please create a list: “We hate tourists” and see how many members enter their name there?

NY and SF may be well-off cities. Worldwide, tourism is an idustry and offen a large part of the GDP. A lot of poorer countries could not survive without tourists!

[If the title should be changed, I will delete this message]

um.. I don’t know if you’ve actually lived/worked in the NYC area, but -and please take no offense- the majority of the stuff on this list are just illogical selections for the them. Take your other list, for LA,for example. You have the actual entirety of LA County as a tourist cliche, that the locals themselves wouldn’t even go to? Hunh?

LOL you can’t have all five distinct burroughs of NYC as a tourist trap. Debateable? Sure. Appropriate and helpful? Not at all.

I expected and would love to see some specific (and legit) places of cliche. I would go in and delete’em myself but damn, I’m nearly 100% LOL!
