Droubay said her family's housing costs doubled, but their New York life is a dream come true.

I have been pleasantly surprised by how kind 99% of people have been. I will get to the subway, and before I even fold up my stroller, strangers pick up the other end and carry it for me. Everyone stands up and offers seats to my kids, or older women have even grabbed one of my kids' hands and helped them on or off the subway for me.

Thank you!
“...but their New York life is a dream come true...”
Excellent! Let the nation’s morons concentrate in the big filthy democrat cities.
I don’t believe a word of this.
Agree. They don’t even make eye contact.
We stayed with family, in the city, for extended visits for several years, not all that long ago.
Never witnessed anything like this fantasy article describes.
Some of the most common “quality of life” issues in cities are things are car break ins, apartment break ins, petty harassment by street people, drug paraphernalia or drug deals on street and muggings/petty theft outside.
It is just a matter of time for one of these to happen to someone in that family.
Tick, tick, tick.....
Or had a family member lit on fire on the subway.
You owe me a cup of coffee.

Homelessness, mental illness and drug addition thrive in big cities. And long rap sheets.
At least cities in the mold of NY and Europe offer human engagement, artistic enrichment, and other healthy outlets…
The cities are filled with first generation immigrants, many of them illegal. They're fleeing something worse in their home countries. The mental health situation isn't by geography alone but by family support by generation. The children of immigrants follow the same patterns as Americans within two generations, if not one.
There is also the fail-out rate, where mental problems inevitably lead to financial problems, and in order to avoid the high costs of cities, they end up in suburban areas.
It would be interesting to overlay that map with a map of abortions. For a while now, New York City has more black children aborted each year than born. It's not that the city had more "human engagement, artistic enrichment, and other healthy outlets", it's that their industry of killing children is in full effect.
Keep in mind that city governments have contributed to the dispersion as well, offering vouchers to areas outside the city to get their "problem children" out. Once out, the politicians end the voucher and the mental stress climbs. From 2019:

The lowest suicide rates are in the states with the highest immigrant welfare payments.
Go figure.
I would propose this is fake news.................
“I understand that there are some decent residential areas in New York City.”
If you don’t mind living in a crime ridden,overcrowded, corrupt, uber expensive communist country with shitty laws and weather.
typical Business Insider lefty BS
This must be satire
Suicides typically deal with two subjects: relationships or income streams.
Nicolae Ceaușescu lived in a nice area of Bucharest until he didn’t. If you can afford the security, it doesn’t matter how bad an area is. Until it does.
“Never witnessed anything like this ...”
As far as seats on the subway, I did.
