Should I move out of NYC?

I live in NYC, and honestly I'm getting sick and tired of living here. Its way to expensive and getting more expensive. Was thinking about moving out the city. I've checked other cities that I have interest in and its a lot cheaper to live in those cities. I know NYC has many benefits, but its just not worth living here anymore.

NYC is again (ala the 70's) becoming a cesspool of a city, due to the incompetent and corrupt politicians who are elected to be your REPRESENTATIVES(not your "leaders")... get out while you can. There are many beautiful cities in the USA for you to relocate to.

@ZedsLeppelin2 Very true, this city is getting overcrowded and overpriced. And frankly its a bit overrated. Everyone wants to move here until they move here.

@skip2mylou Yup...NYC once again is only a "melting pot" for the super wealthy or for those dependent on NYC Government handouts......thus, the middle class NEED NOT APPLY to live in NYC.
Same goes for the small town that I grew up in that was eventually TRANSFORMED by "progressive" politicians....where in the small town that I grew up in, there are now only 2 classes of people who live in my once small town now..... the super wealthy and those dependent on the Government who are living in the MANY government housing projects built in my once small town, thus there's NO LONGER a middle class anymore in the small town I grew up in, as well as unrecognizable to those of us from Middle Class working families who grew up in OUR small town back in the 60's and 70's.
