Whataboutism isn’t a defense. OP was pointing out that, as an outsider, it’s obvious NYC is lame for the class of city it’s trying to be.

You don’t have to be a regular at a restaurant to point out its flaws.

It's not whataboutism. USA is my country, no matter how shitty the cities are. There are reasons both personal and practical for why leaving the country and living in one of your beloved model cities is a non-starter.
