A good place to have the largest city on Earth.

On a day to day basis Im way more concerned about my fellow citizens and not getting run over by the wild west wage-zealous buses 

On the mid-long term I only worry about something like SARS/MERS or an earthquake.

Yeah, the whole earthquake thing is a thing I try not to think about too much.

The thing is, if you don't have volcanoes and earthquakes you have hurricanes and tornados. There's noplace that's actually safe, so fuck it, make the best of where you're at.

True story. We even get earthquakes here, only not as bad. We had a tsunami this year, but nobody really talked about it. They closed the hurricane barrier and didn't tell anyone it was coming as to not incite panic. By the time it got to New England it was like a small storm surge. I can't think of any part of the US that isn't without some sort of natural disaster, it's just very easy to forget that the world is always moving, always changing, and there's not really anything we can do about it but be prepared, and move on.
