NYC is terrible. I absolutely loathe driving through it every time we travel up to Massachusetts. It’s basically just 300 square miles of concrete and minorities.

save your pity. Everyone has different priorities in life, and I couldn't care less about leaving the country. I've visited coast to coast in america and seen many great cities and seen some wonderful places that I have greatly enjoyed. The fact that they are in this country and not across an ocean don't diminish the experience for me at all.

we moved from nola to just outside Philly a year ago. considering a job in Manhattan now. looks like with even a 60k bump in pay it wouldn't make financial sense. looked at a 100/year old house on long island today, 1500 sq ft, 50 min train ride to work, $900k... i love ny but damn...

Not really. I'd say it's lower than most major cities I've been to. Houston and SF were the worst on a daily basis.

The only time I really encounter them is in the subway. Subways a pretty amazing way to travel across the city quickly.

it's cold for 3-4 months. It's freezing right now, but I've been running the A/C a good bit the last few months.

The summers are hot as hell. Fall was absolutely gorgeous most of the time.

i've experienced NYC as a tourist and as a local. paying $1300 for a studio apartment is not worth the trouble of getting to say you live in NYC.

$1300? Where was that? I was paying more than that for a 1 BR in midtown Houston

I'm paying $2825 for a 1 bedroom

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Vienna. For scenery though, Salzburg is unrivaled imo.
