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.

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.

@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.

I agree with you. It's sad when you need to work two jobs to survive!@kydflash
