Places I've lived:
Sydney: You should spend more money on real estate.
Melbourne: You should spend more money on clothes.
London: You should have been here 150 years ago.
Davis, CA: You should leave Davis, CA.
Sydney: You should spend more money on real estate.
Melbourne: You should spend more money on clothes.
London: You should have been here 150 years ago.
Davis, CA: You should leave Davis, CA.
brooklyn: you should be hipper
cambridge: you should be smarter
berkeley: you should only eat organically grown vegetables
tokyo: you should be japanese
san francisco: you should become as crazy as most everyone else, but not quite as crazy as the homeless people
London: "You should have been here 150 years ago" is essentially "you should be more aristocratic". I think that signal is strong in London. I have been at dinner with friends who started arguing about how far they had to commute on the tube (as a proxy for social class.) The English pretend to the world that it doesn't matter but it seems to matter deeply to them. This seems to be an English hidden rule; that is how the discussion started.
Mountain View, CA: We're not the Barrio (any more).
Toledo, OH: We're close to Detroit.
Bowling Green, OH: Attend a real university with your real high school friends!
Columbus, OH: Love Ohio State football (and basketball, if the season's wrong).
If you are merely rich, your money can be easily taken from you by more powerful person in Moscow.
And if you didn't know, Russian is a second class citizen in Russia.
All in all, one message per city is insufficient. It all depends on the people around you.
No it's more like...
Melbourne: You live in the sports capital of a sports crazed country. You should go to the footy, the cricket, tennis and don't forget some new duds on cup day.
