You can explore your creativity.

Writing your novel, designing your website, building a business—it all feels attainable here.

I thought the best place to write your novel was in an empty hotel in the mountains of Colorado.

New York State (and therefore New York City) is teh most business hostile area in the country. Even Amazon isn't immune.

The main things you need to build your website is suitable PC, a fast and reliable Internet connection, and access to food, drink, and sleep. You don't need to go to New York for that.

Some people are energized by having a lot of other people around. Others find it irritating and suffocating. Rush Limbaugh liked New York because if you have enough money, you can get anything delivered to you. That was also true in Nero Wolfe's New York. Most people don't have that kind of money.

Why do people live in New York? why do people love New York?

Some people love the performing arts, every conceivable ethnic restaurant, or museums.

Some people live in New York because they were born and rasied there. Some people live somewhere their whole lives just because of that. Other people gravitated to New York because of work in some key businesses, such as finance, publishing, advertising, which have major jobs there.

All of us can ask ourselves, why do we live where we live? Do we live there because we love our hometowns? Are we there by default, because we were born and raise there? Or did we choose to live there because of work, because it’s a spouse’s hometown, or other reasons. The same reasoning can apply to why anyone lives in New York.
