I grew up in the South, and I think NYC is great - 11/10/2021
I'm from the South and the perception I had was that New York was a filthy slum full of sketchy people and crime. I visited it, and it's actually on the other end of the spectrum. I visited for a week on the subway, out all day, and not once did I feel threatened. Compared to Austin, Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio, NYC feels super safe! There's so many more sketchy people elsewhere. I found out that NYC nowadays homes 95% of their homeless people (literally 95% -- look on Wikipedia). There's no trash and you can feel the money flowing

New York City is crazy Great there are to many things to do and see in NYC for anyone to ever complain about the city other than most Of the population with stacked on each other, Price’s of everything there is high that’s fact . But we get what we pay for right— I cannt lie my first Experience of the city I couldn’t wait to leave Being from Charlotte , North Carolina , NYC and Charlotte or like night and day both cities have an advantages of living in them but hands down NYC has so much more to Experience year round NYC is on a different scale all together one with a southern charm and one with a bold in your face feel. Rude people in booth cites anyone says different Just haven’t been to either city . Crime in Charlotte is higher with only a 2 million Population and NYC with its 8.8 Million population that Just crazy , Pollution of all forms greater in New York City compared to Charlotte Roads New York City is by far worse than Charlotte In my view I love New York City but

new york still sucks - 8/3/2021
filthy. deplorable. weak character. the people of new york aren't classy, they're not even decent. rude, obnoxious, arrogant, and smug, and to make it all worse there's so many of them. there/s just so many ****ing people, you're up to your eyeballs in people. plus everything is way too expensive and the police and government are completely corrupt. new york is a chaotic hell hole, its a portrait of modern american dystopia. but the people here have been told this is the best place in the world and thats why their all there, and they believe it. they eat that **** up. which is cute, but its wrong, its crazy, they're prisoners in hell and they dont know it. you should go to new york to see it, but just look around and then quickly get the ****

Overly ugly city, way too expensive, AND BORING! - 4/29/2021
I lived here my whole life, ugly city, rude people, even rude neighbors! Everyone is overly worked and there is NOTHING fun to do! I couldn't even find an arcade or nice place on my birthday! ABSOLUTELY NOT child friendly! They think all kids need is a crappy overcrowded playground! Real city of sin! My daughter is 10 years old and I can see the depression in her from living here! Go move to a nice vacation spot or something with all your money and don't listen to the hype, New Jersey is way better, more fun to do! If you only love bars, this is your place because that's the ONLY thing they offer for you to do here, drink! And not even have fun while you're doing it! Miserable people, miserable city, I'm going to Jersey to buy my house! No thanks NYC!

Don't Fight The Last War by Moving to NYC - 3/3/2021
As our culture becomes more atomized, NYC - the singles capital of the world - is the showroom for the rest of the US of what's to come. It USED to be a great city... back when there was such a thing as culture in this country, true friendship existed, and romance was a real possibility. Now that social media has removed any possibility for a counterculture to exist and form new trends, the only culture phenomena that form are created by corporate committees with a profit motive. Friendships are useless in NYC unless they can be documented for social media. And, romantic entanglements are as meaningful as the swipe of one's thumb. Consequently, it's no surprise that NYC has become a cultural and spiritual wasteland - unless you think seeing the Broadway version of The Lion King is culture. Friendships are fleeting and dating is a total nightmare. I've lived in NYC for nearly 20 years. I'm rich. I moved here broke and made it in NYC. I have nothing to complain about. It's been good to

Don't Move Here...and Here's Why...... - 2/17/2021
I've lived here my entire life and in the last year, since the moronic mayor partially defunded the police by $1,000,000,000.00, and his wife stole $850,000,000.00 to allegedly do something about the homeless/mentally ill problem we have, CRIME HAS NEVER BEEN DO AWFUL. Broad daylight gun point robberies in good neighborhoods - in fact, there have been at least 3 bank robberies in Flatiron/Union Square/Chelsea in the last 6 months alone - you can be assaulted on any street in Manhattan....it is no longer the well known "bad neighborhoods" that you seek to stay out of...the crime has now spread across the entire city. And, the homeless population has grown and many of these are clinically insane - and, they are violent, as well. The streets are not safe, even during the day. Just yesterday, gun point robbery for bike and another one for a cell phone. The other problem is TRASH...New York is DIRTY AND DANGEROUS...oh, and the genius that is the mayor took 100,000,000 from the budge

The land of opportunity not quality - 12/14/2020
Born and raised in queens. if you don’t know how to hustle and aren’t prepared to work multiple jobs/multiple incomes you won’t do well in NY. Unless you’re a doctor or something, This is a dog eat dog city. As awful as that sounds that’s what makes NYC so great. The natural average resident understands that. Frank Sinatra saying if you can make it here you can make it anywhere is absolutely fact. The food options are amazing as it’s one of the most diverse places on earth. I want to move as I’m done with it to be honest. I want a nice house, vegetables and other things that come with quality of life. Quality of life in NY is based on how smooth your commute time is and if you can avoid paying tolls. Too expensive for young people like me even on a good salary. I would have left years ago if it wasn’t for my family. It gets a 2 for food and family for

NYC Both Good & Bad - 2/22/2020
I was born & raised in NYC. During the time I grew up there is was a GREAT place to live & grow up. However, over the years it changed.
It is expensive to live, but so are a lot of other places with far less to offer. NYC has so much to do it is nearly impossible to be bored unless you are broke. There is seemingly nothing that you can't get there. Transportation is plentiful and affordable. If you don't think so, try living some place like NC or Baltimore. While Baltimore has a train & bus system it is not comprehensive at all.
NYC is quite crowded, but for some that is the attraction. People draw energy from other people so this is what makes NYC so electric!! If you are not a people person or you have a phobia of crowds then I suppose NYC is not for you.
The NYC public school system sucked out loud as I can recall which is why in 1997 my ex-husband and I decided to leave with our 3 kids. That was 23 years ago, so I am uncertain what it is
