Questions about NYC Living: Why?

@Mrowe718 🤔...I've been to Manhattan once on a business trip. Lived in LA for a year. To many people in both places. West and East coast dreams of "making it big".

@Jimmy2016 there’s similarities in both places, in regards to the cost of living, and there being an overflow of transplants moving to those cities to “follow their dreams” however I think LA is pretty damn awesome (outside of the pretentiousness). The scenery is gorgeous (I’m a lover of nature). Can’t quite can’t that vibe in NYC (maybe on the outskirts such as upstate...as in 3 to 5 hours away from the city)

Not sure where the middle ground would be for a girl raised in the city life. I think I’d go through major withdrawal trying to reside in a quiet town.

I grew up on LI and the last thing I wanted to do was go to that shithole@Mrowe718

@Entwistle pretty much

@SW-User is that what it is? Lol

@SW-User You have to be asleep to believe it?

@SageAdvice MAJOR ass...

Anywhere around the Adirondack Mountains.

I do like Manhattan though. Its a fun place visit but a terrible place to live.

@Mrowe718

@User41 thanks!

and I concur. Living and visiting NYC, entirely different situations lol.
Manhattan was never an option, Brooklyn is becoming oddly expensive (renting a room costs just as much as an apartment in some areas) The Bronx (......) , Queens is okay but just severely boring. I have no desire to move to Staten Island.

I feel upstate, will have a better quality of living.

I agree for all the same reasons.

@Mrowe718

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout sounds about right!

@Montanaman Yup, high hopes and a lot of let downs when people come here thinking all dreams magically come true lol This city loves no one.
