Do you like where you are currently living?

I live in NYC. Been living here since 1994. I am currently 30. I use to love living here but not anymore. Frankly, with rising rent, over population, hipsters and gentrification, this city is becoming for the rich. Due to the cost of living the homeless rate has gone up. I feel things will get worst in the years to come.

This city has become really overrated and not worth living here anymore in my opinion. Many of my friends who've moved out have become really successful. I plan to follow in their footsteps soon. I work as graphic designer making 40k per yr. We work for many real estate companies, designing floor plans, banners, books etc.... the prices they are charging for apartments are mind blowing. Speaking of which, there're apartment buildings and condominiums going up everywhere in the city.

I have love for NYC but I can't stay here anymore.

I liked where I lived in TN for a while. Laid back, people were nicer, things were cheaper, it was nice. Right up until they tried to make it the next "up and coming" city/town.

@raysam363 Sorry to hear that, I want to move to a place thats laid back. NYC is too hectic, great place to visit but not to live.

All the best wishes for you in a new city..!! If you are a graphic designer i believe that you can find work anywhere maybe freelancing too..

Denver has become outrageously expensive even though it is and always has been and always will be a cowtown.

@hunkalove Sorry to hear that, seems like cost of living is going up in many places. Hope things get better.

Prices are rediculous here too and the homeless have multiplied like rabbits. My hub wants to move out of this state and I'm thinking the same thing.
kydflash · 31-35, M
@SW-User That's unfortunate, the homeless has been on the rise in many cities and are causing many problems as well. Hopefully both of you move some place better. It's really sad what's happening in many cities. A lot of our problems are due to greed and corruption.
SW-User
I agree with you. It's sad when you need to work two jobs to survive!@kydflash
kydflash · 31-35, M
@SW-User It Truly is, hopefully things get better in yrs to come.

I’m sorry to hear that! I hope you find a place better suited very soon. I live in southeast Minnesota and I like it here. It’s still just a little wild feeling and very pretty. 🙂

@JustNik Sweet, one of my friends actually lives in southwest Minnesota and has been begging me to move there. That's my first option at the moment.
JustNik · 51-55, F
@kydflash well it will certainly be a slower pace than you’re used to! LOL good luck to you! 👍👍

Yes, I love my home
kydflash · 31-35, M
@calicuz Great to hear :)
Everything you’ve described I can say about San Francisco—a city of billionaires and homeless. I’m a retiree in a rent-controlled flat, but I imagine I’ll eventually be priced out and have to leave the state.

@bijouxbroussard That's truly sad, things should not be like this. There is enough wealth to go around. But the greed of men is something else. I hope things get better for you.

@Stereoguy Thank you, one of my friends is actually planning to move there soon. And asked me to consider it, I am thinking about it. The Weather is a huge plus for me
