Nice place to visit, but do you wanna live here?

It's 100 degrees today and the subways are packed with sweaty and rude people. As a tourist, you'll find folks happy to give you directions and such, the city is safer and cleaner than in the past, and the tourist attractions and museums and nightlife are unbeatable, but the day-to-day grind and high cost of living should inform any decision to move here. Actors, traders, and others who "need" to be here will have to deal with it until they can afford to live elsewhere.
