I love NYC! Some of the greatest restaruants in the world. Some of the greatest, most tolerant people in the world. Fashion center of the world. Art center of the world. Financial center of the world (at least for the next week or so)
I don’t understand all the haters.....some folks like to live in the weeds, and others like to live in the greatest city in the world.
Its all good.
Lot of FReepers don't know it. Now that they've been educated, they'll love New York. If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.

I doubt they’ve really experienced it. It’s mind boggling, even compared to other large American cities. But lodging costs a fortune (either for visiting or living), and that probably gets under people’s skin (that I can understand). But the rest of the city is only expensive if you want it to be. You can spend a week going to free museums, for example.
Yes, Bloomberg is still a jerk, but he’s also IMPROVED on Rudy’s crime crackdown. The city is a fun place to visit...maybe a fun place to live, depending on one’s specific circumstance (i.e., making enough money and accepting that a car doesn’t happen if you make under $500k).
It’s possible to be too tolerant.
