No shit, did you just compare the highest living cost place to a lowest living cost one? You sure are genius, why didn't people think of this!?

Hey I can also live in a bumfuck nowhere in Texas and fuck cows for living for $20k a year. Then I come home everynight to NOTHING, shitty food, and bang my head against the wall as my leisure.

Nvm, I can go buy a block of whole neighborhood for $3,000 in Detroit, then get stabbed on that very night.

OR I can live in NYC, enjoy all things the city can offer while working at a good company that gives me good salary in accordance of higher cost of living AND save more $$ / come out on top than former two choices.

I could not live in the boondocks either. I thought you were going to take a job in Ft Lee and move to NJ. what happened to that idea?

there are plenty of places in the USA where you can live in the country, work 20 minutes away in a town or city, make %70-80 of what the big cities pay, and pay %20 on housing and %50 on other cost of living expenses. this allows you to save even more $$.

your rediculous rant didnt phase me, it just made you look a little silly.

Sorry does not compute.

You can live in a surb of a major city in TX such as Dallas, Austin, etc. and you can get almost anything like NYC, well, maybe not the high rent/cost of living and traffic and taxes and end up much better financially. Don't get me wrong, I love NYC and surrounding area as a place to visit but not to spend the rest of my life there, I need some space between me and other human beings.

I have been to NYC a few times (love to visit whenever I can) and even had a job offer to move there but I turned it down.

NYC is for people who can deal with the pace and number of people, this is of course not everyone.

I'd rather cut off my left testicle with a rusty pitchfork than have to live in suburban Texas.

FTFY
Oh wait...in NYC, somebody would do that for you.
New Yorkers all suffer from a disease that makes them think living in a cramped, over priced, crime ridden, stinking landscape of concrete and steel is preferable to living anywhere else on the planet. I guess it all works out because no one else would live there.

They don't just think it is preferable, they think they are better because they do it. Like going to a gladiator school where you live a shitty life and get no credit for even being a gladiator is some life-long dream. I lived in the city for a year and have worked in it for almost 5. NY stinks, looks like shit, and the people are assholes. NY'ers take no pride in their city and are willing to fuck it up just to be lazy and seem "cool" about living in a shithole.

That's not even starting on a disgusting grocery stores that mark everything up by 30% or how the great "variety" of restaurants yield a single good one out of every 10 while you pay for shitty service and overpriced "chi-chi" crap.

Or the Metro North with their 40 year old trains that smell like Porta-Potty or NJ Transit where trains break down every day or the subway which smells like rats, shit, and festering garbage.

NY has one major redeeming quality, jobs (that and good sightseeing but shitty living). Fuck everything else about it.

Crime ridden? Try Detroit, St. Louis, Baltimore, and Memphis if you want to see crime ridden hell holes. NYC is comparatively safe ranked against pretty much all the other urban areas in the country.

Comparing relative hell holes are we? You've absolutely convinced me NYC is where it's at. 😀
 
Also, I never said I want to stay in NYC forever.

I'd kill myself. I'm enjoying the city now, getting it out of my system. I long for suburban life myself when I have family.... a green lawn of my own, grilling with my kids...

This is the biggest misunderstanding of NYC. And I don't blame ya since I thought the same thing before I moved here (less than a year).

It's not crime ridden at all. I've never felt unsafe in the city once even at night.

Masshole. It's beautiful, but sick of everything after living there for 16 years (13 to 29).

I don't know how anyone can grow up and live in the same town forever. It's one thing to try somewhere else THEN come back to your sweet hometown, but never leaving the place? I'd kill myself.

Yeah, forget about the serial sexual assaulters that have been hitting lately. Gavin DeGraw might disagree with you.

It's easy to put the city into lockdown when your cops routinely wear swat gear, have granade launchers and can shoot down airplanes. Ohh, and not to mention they have one of the largest intelligence operations in the world outside of the NSA/CIA.

All of that for an extra 4%+ city tax.

But I did love paying $3,524/mo for a 688sqft place.
