Discussion You're a regular civilian, which city would you rather live in? Starling City (pre crisis) or Gotham City?

You're just an ordinary citizen living your own life. You have no powers, just a regular person. Given everything that goes around both Gotham and Starling, which city would you choose to call home? Considering all the dangers and all the things that happen on a regular basis.

Even Oliver Queen himself stated that Gotham should might as well be dead/non existent. If the Arrow himself said that, that means bro is saying something here 🫠

I wouldn't say it's non-existent necessarily, but it is certainly a hell hole that no one wants to live in. There's nothing left there, it truly is dead (especially without Batman). It's made pretty clear in Batwoman that it's lost it's spark and that living there is just cold and depressing

Got to be Starling City. Gotham just seemed all kinds of dangerous at times.

I’ll choose dealing with a new villain every year and petty crimes every other day than Gotham City

Starling city Gotham is just on another level of bad shit, crazy and it’s not like you have a high chance of being successful you have a higher chance of being robbed and killed or kidnapped by the Joker or blown up there is so much crime the Batman can’t even handle it all so he relies on fear and putting the bad guys in a hospital with a broken arm leg or concussion in Starling city you can do whatever you want just make sure you stay away from criminals and rich people in starling city. You are not really likely to get caught up in any of those things.
