If you could move to NYC would you? If not why not?

no...i'm happy where i'm at in canada's third largest city. mountains and ocean just a stone throw away. it's expensive here too but it's cleaner and nowhere near as crowded..

Only as an illegal…

Hell no. Too many people, too much traffic, too many liberals.

No, too crowded, too polluted, and too many rats.

I would never, ever live in NYC. No matter how much money I had. I can handle it for like two days and then I'm out. Concrete and noise isn't my lane.

No. Too much stimulation. Too chaotic for me.
It's a really nice place to visit though.

Nope. I don’t like the city. Much happier in nature. 😊

An old friend of mine moved from England to NYC at the start of the 1980s. When he got divorced they sold their apartment and he now lives in a cabin in Up-state New York

I would not, state taxes, city taxes, federal taxes.
Unless you are in illegal alien, I see no reason to live there. The illegals live for free off of all your tax dollars.

No. It's dead. Culturally it's nothing but an intravenous drip - putting people to work for the oligarchs. Sucking up everything we can produce.

🤔.......Noway!!! Been there and it's not for me........Too many people....Too many buildings.........Too much trash bags piled up on the corners waiting to be picked.........

I can sit on my back pouch of my house and look at the mountains and a couple of 14,000ft. mountain peaks. I'm happy where I'm at..........

NO it's a great place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there

No.

I do not like the smell of dumpsters and urine in August.

It is fun to visit, mostly Manhattan but not so much for living. Too expansive, too conjested, I think lot of major cities people there take the train in for work but either live in upstate New York on across the Hudson in Jersey.

On a sidenote people near the city don't see all of NYC as one city but more of each burrough as a different place.

Nope…too many people, the cost of living is to high

I grew up in CT, about 60 miles from NYC. Used to love to take the train into Manhattan, walk around the city, go to Central Park, hit a few clubs (bars), get a pizza slice or a hot pretzel. But I haven't been there in thirty years and the city's reputation is not what it was. Plus they have winter which I mostly avoid in AZ.

Nah. It’s a weekend visit kind of place for me

If you can survive there, it must be a good place to live.

But unless you have a lot of money, it seems like a dismal place to live.

Most people are moving out because of taxes, crime, and just utter government incompetence, or utter government control.

I like where I live.

Not in a billion years

no; not if I could help it. if I somehow found the most amazing, high paying job ever, I'd possibly rent a place in nyc to work out of for some part of the week and a place in PA or upstate to spend time/work remotely.

What does it mean if I could? Would I make big money and live in a spacious apartment with awesome view or would I barely make it but live in NYC?

Absolutely. I'd love to be able to live in one of the great cities of the world, at least for a while. Of course, that assumes that I have enough money to be able to live there properly.

Absolutely not. I’ve only ever lived in small fishing communities by the sea and I would never swap it for a big dirty city.

I used to love going to nyc. Now I won't go at all. My house is just a few hours from there, but the city is far removed from the safety of the Giuliani era.

Hell no! Cost of living, crowded streets and I would have to give up my farm, Hell no!

used to love NYC, the restaurants, Broadway, Radio City, the Met. shopping 5th Ave, not anymore

No. I use to commute in from Connecticut though when I worked on Wall St. It’s such a great city.

Never. It's too big and too populated. There's also lots of trash on the streets.

I would if there was a decent job lined up there.

Pay me 100 mil a year and ok. Anything less hell no.

No, the thought of those crowds of people are too much for me

No, I am quite happy where I am. All my family and friends are here too.

Not a chance. It’s crowded, not terribly safe and very expensive.

Technically I could as my son was born in US territory but heck no.

NEVER!!!! One of my worst nightmares is being stuck in a big city.

No. It is a dirty city filled with angry people.

I want to visit NYC at Christmas in the snow

No. Too much noise. Too many people. Pollution. Yuck.

No I'm tired of big city life

It’s a cool place but I find cities a bit scary.

No way. I avoid cities as much as possible.

No i wouldnt. Way too expensive snd crowded.

You couldn't pay me enough to move there.

No...too expensive, too much crime.

I lived in Long Island for a while

Chicago is plenty big enough for me!!!

Hell yeah, New York is so much fun.

Are you going to put me up, there?

One word, Expensive.
