•Why is the cost of living [i](in a decent sized apartment, in a decent area)[/i] so high?

•Why is it so hard to find work in job environments that don’t have a toxic work culture and high turn overs?

•Why are employees over-worked and under paid?

•Why do employers require bachelor degrees for minimum wage?

•Why is a 400sq ft studio apartment $1,800 lol

Why, why, why... [/c][/big]

Manhattan sucks...

Upstate NY is awesome sauce

@User41 yeah!! Which part would you recommend? I’ve heard Albany is pretty cool, Fishkills as well. Not sure about anywhere else. But NYC? Superrrrrr overrated and over priced. It’s quite sad.

Anywhere around the Adirondack Mountains.

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

@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.
