I wonder what makes New York City so attractive that people would actually still want to live here....

I mean people are actually LEAVING the state of NY, but the city is something else....

The city is crowded as it already is and still people want to come !!??

Maybe its the immigrants.

Why would anyone want to live in NYC except for the ethnic foods. Why would anyone want to live in a city where the water level is higher than the city itself.

I lived there in 1982 and wished I could live there forever. I actually LOVED it. I guess you got it, but WOW...NY is the life.
