Any native New Yorker moved to another state?

[RealCrownHeights]

How was the transition, quality of life, pay, entertainment and bang for your buck?

Tired of renting, looking for parking/moving cars. Ready to have a family and don't want to raise them here.


Top of my list is Atlanta. I went to school there so I know the deal. Charlotte is on my list as well as the DMV area and Houston. My girl is infatuated with DC, but it seems like the job market is strictly Government Jobs. She works in the media so her options a little more limited than me at the moment.

Plenty of people on here left Harlem for Atlanta, so you not alone in the line of thinking.

I've been all around the country working construction and as a trucker, I've never met a New Yorker outside of New York. They never leave the state I swear.

I'm still in the Northeast corridor. More space for sure. Slower pace of life, most weekends you gotta make your own fun. Pay goes further in most aspects.

What do I miss? Public transit sucks, you gotta drive everywhere. Entertainment, eating out... You can't beat the city. In most areas there's less diversity.

If I hit the lotto I got a brownstone in Fort Greene I'm buying cash

Leave a world class city to move to ATL and be surrounded by bussy bandits

Good luck on finding your place tho breh. Hopefully you and your girl settle somewhere nice. Tryna get out of my state as well.

@Canada Goose moved to FL and breh is going through it. Ready to pack his nest up and fly back to NY

Word of advice, ensure you carry out extensive research the grass isnt always greener on the other side

Infesting the rest of the nation with your culture and worldview

Its a gateway to Jewish supremacy/devilishment

NYers been moving down south when they get older for 4ever. Especially places like Va,
It's just been a trend in the last 10yrs for younger NYers to move away earlier.
Cause other places seem more popping now

I moved from Canarsie Brooklyn to a surbub outside of Tampa. I wouldn't suggest Florida as I remember OP saying he has a sweating problem (not trying to clown, I do to), the heat and humidity in this state is


Also if you move to any city south of DC, make sure you have a CAR. The public transit in most of these southern cities is trash. A North Carolina poster on here told me that jobs won't hire you in that state if you don't have a car.


I will say the apartments in Florida are nicer than the apartments in tenement buildings in NYC, my new apartment has central A/C so no need for window A/C units like in NY.
