The coolest place - 9/5/2009
I love New York City. After many years of moving about the north east, west coast, and mid atlantic region I've found NYC to be the place that offers the most in terms of culture, diversity, recreation and fun!
As a muti-cultural, multi-ethnic man I am more comfortable in NYC than any other place. Here among the worlds population I have found friends, food, music, and living history that imbues my life with excitement.
All, in all I love New York!

Tough Times - 8/9/2009
New York is a city in which everything is BIG, which is good and bad. Times now are difficult since so many industries are not doing well and there is a ripple effect. One phenomena is that jobs that are coming back are at lower salaries, while the cost of living is the same (e.g. high). Perhaps that doesn't matter for someone who has to be in NYC at all costs, but for the rest of us, that does matter.
Although I grew up here and wanted to return, I find myself questioning that decision now. I am concerned that if the economics of the city do not stabilize, then the positive aspects achieved during good times will erode and the city will be less habitable for those between rich and poor.
If you have lots of money, this is the place to

Cultural Rich New York - 8/6/2009
New York City is truly an international city that resides in the USA. Just about every language in the world can be heard spoken on the streets of NYC on any given day. With such a wide spectrum of residents from around the world comes a tremendously rich culture. Ethnic markets? NYC has many to choose from for every nationality. Restaurants? NYC has streets and neighborhoods dedicated to each ethnicity with many eateries to choose from for every nationality. Music? New York has the greatest live music scene in the States and possibly in the world.
That's why I say "New York might be located in the USA but it belongs to the whole

Economic Conditions Have Negatively Affected MTA S - 8/4/2009
New York City is not immune to the hurting and sluggish economy as State and City fiscal budgets for the forseeable future (2 - 5 years)have been slashed, affecting the money budgeted for MTA Service and Expansion projects. The subway trains are more crowded than ever as fewer trains are running and operating less frequently in any given time of the

Manhattan - 7/29/2009
Manhattan is 1) convenient, open all the time and everything within walking distance, permitting exercise as a means of transport, 2) easygoing, option for any vocation or avocation, allowing one to control the stress level, 3) preservation efforts are strong and vocal, trying to protect the old and ensure a better quality of life for all, (against a corrupt city agency Landmarks Protection Commission), and 4) diverse population that is always

I am trying to get out! - 7/17/2009
NYC is over crowded they are pushing the struggling middleclass out to make way for the rich.If your looking for a job pray you have a connection with someone already because it will be hell to get a job out here. In the social service industry, if you don't speak spanish you will have to learn, in order to keep the job for at least 1-2years.If you don't know spanish you will get pushed out of the job before the year is up! The middle class sector is drying up faster than a raisin in the sun.If you have a car lets hope you can live in an affluent area in newyork. If not they will take you car away with excessive ticketing, which i like to call taxation without representation.they are creating in brooklyn, millionaire row, millionaire row is supposed to be a section of brooklyn where wealthy people will live close to the new stadium. All the buildings,shopping, housing, and jobs are going to middle class individuals. The poor people are being forced to take MTA because the city
