From a Native New Yorker - 5/17/2011
I'm a native NY'ker and have been here during the the 80's..most of the 90s (college was in upstate NY, so I was still around), and most of this century, with 1 year in NC and 2 years in PA.
I am NOW back in Manhattan in the East Village. Expensive. You betcha. But it's worth it if you are young, making decent money (60K BARE MINIMUM), and looking for your mate, and also looking to start your career or REALLY enhance it. Bike lanes are now EVERYWHERE, so I really have no transportation costs as I bike to work, then this is the place for you. There's so much to do, I've been here most my life and I'm still not bored, and still have tons of options probably for the rest of my entire life.
I can walk outside my apartment and there's tons of stuff going on. A theatre on my block, historic bar, art gallery, and this is a side street. I love it to DEATH really. Only thing that would make me move is the weather. I'm pretty sure I'll find my soul mate here for sure,
