After living here, it just feels like NYC is the most temporary living situation on planet earth.

A city of 24 million people built on an island with the highest cost of living in the country that's just going to get hit by tropical storm after tropical storm until the majority of it is underwater. Don't even get me started on gentrification.

I love this city though...

:jayz:

You don't have the highest cost of living stop it cali owns that.

Then you have mad cities in VA that will have your ass crying looking at your mortgage.

:childplease: Cant compare a state to a city. but if you want to compare the only place you could bring up would be SF. and even thats a silly comparason.

NYC has almost as many people living in public housing as SF has for total population

These are things thats skew stats so it depends how you want to calculate it. bottom line. no where in cali is it more expensive to rent then in NYC. lets not be stupid and act like we talking about living in the projects.

It's funny what this devolved into.

@Theraflu I gotta disagree with you, breh. Over the past 100 years or whatever, nyc has been built up as the place to go if you want to make it. Everyone knows the phrase "if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere".

I've had the desire myself once or twice and I live in DC. People wanna live, survive and prosper there. And the only other city I've seen be like that in America is LA.

You go to New York to make it big in whatever your dream is. Go to LA to become an entertainer. That's how I've always seen it. And idk where everyone is getting Miami from. I've never really heard of anyone wanting to go there unless they're latino or they want to look at women or become a big time drug dealer.

Then there's the mecca if you're a black entertainer, which is Atlanta.

You can't compare either really. Queens is 2x larger than San Francisco population wise. Queens and Brooklyn together is larger than Los Angeles population wise. If New York deannexed the other four boroughs today into independent cities, Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan would be among the top 10 largest cities in America :heh:

I can't lie, I love NY though. Living in LA I always wanted to go there and when I did it was the shyt. Except that cold ass weather was :flabbynsick:. Another thing I love is the food. I guess the competition is so rough there I stopped in some small spot in Manhattan and it was one of the best meals I ever ate. On some 5 star Gordon Ramsay shyt.

4. Diversity
5. Real Estate nyc doesnt have the most expensive real estate. it also doesnt have the most available real estate.
6. Transportation london, tokyo, seoul, moscow all have higher ridership than nyc's
7. Media (arguably) - i'd say yes to this one.
8. Nightlife - debatable.

In a study that surprises almost no one, the Bloomberg administration has found that half of New York City residents are "poor" or "near-poor" meaning that they were "making less than 150 percent of the poverty threshold." This is a small rise in the amount of poor from 2009, when the recession officially ended. But as New York City has made abundantly clear, the recovery has not been shared by all (or even many).

The city, in its analysis, recommended against cutbacks to vital public assistance programs, like tax credits and food stamps. These programs are having their budgets cut at the federal and state level, as Washington, and Mayor Bloomberg himself endorses austerity measures in the face of a still-sluggish economy.

"Coinciding with the end of the slump in the job market is the end of the recession-related expansion of the safety net," the report states.

Manhattan has become richer while boroughs where development money and attention hasn't been given, like Queens, are now poorer. The Bronx has remained just as poor as it has always been.

While recent measures in New York City like raising the minimum wage and granting workers paid sick days have helped poor New Yorkers (both measures were opposed by Mayor Bloomberg), Nancy Rankin, an advocate on behalf of the poor, reports that "missing rungs in the ladder make it really hard to climb out of poverty," and cutbacks in aid will make matters even worse.


:snoop: and blacks and hispanics wants to save face by saying hell i live in NYC that's all that matters.

Hell move if u have a chance.. hell blacks and whites in california broke camp.. majority headed to texas and colorado.. and i'm moving in november

So you agree New York can only be debated internationally:patrice:

This is the real NY... It ain't as expensive (although it is expensive) as ppl say...

Some parts of queens brooklyn and the bronx are still ghetto as fukk....

Manhattan is becoming the place for the rich...

Also there's Long Island and Jersey if you can't afford to live in the city or wanna live in a nicer place for less money (These places also expensive compared to other states tho)...
