Stay away from NYC at all costs!! - 5/5/2010
I was born here and came back to live in the city during my mid-twenties and am ready to move out of this place! I know everyone from outside of the U.S. or the East Coast region is crazy about New York but if you live here long enough, you will realize how the quality of life is so low in comparison to many other places. Over the years, public transportation has diminished in quality with out of control construction projects and subway line interruptions that delay your travel plans.

I have visited 4 times and I cannot get over it. It is said to be one of the easiest places to "climb the ladder" of success. NY has too much to offer, with hard work and dedication, you will reap many great rewards from the big
