New York is a great city.I love it.Its a diversity of people meet and things to do.

New york is probably the most evolved American city.And a city is a business.Dont make it complicated by saying its not enough jobs.Its a million other things to do better than spending all your time working.You need investments to support your lifestyles.

The alternate parking is a rip off though.Its like playing musical chairs.The city knows its enough spaces for everyone.And why do each side of the street have to be cleaned twice a week?Yet most of the subway stations are so dirty its like dried up tar is over everything.Its a business.

New York has been on a downhill slope for several years and is only bound to get worse. I’ve left and come back a few times and have always found greener pastures outside of NY. My returns have always been for personal or family reasons, never because I’ve missed NY. I plan on leaving again soon, and this time for good. Housing is crappy and too expensive, utility companies rape the public, city services are incompetent, and the people of NY have gotten more and more monetary-minded and self-centered. No longer a place to live the American dream.

This is nothing new. Companies
began exiting NYC in the 70′s right up until now. Rents have always been high which caused a mass exodus to NJ, which caused the rents and cost
of houses to go up in NJ also.
In the 80′s a plan was revealed to the public to rid
NY of Blacks by purposely
super raising the cost of living. Many NYC Blacks left
NYC and came to NJ which had
a plan to keep Afro-Americans
on the move to the south. Many
central NJ suburban towns then received a lot of NYC and Jersey City,NJ residents. Hispanic families were given funds to purchase homes in political designated areas. If
they desired to go where they wanted, they were informed that
they would not receive the funds.

Old News. Next. :0(

As throughout its history, NYC is still a microcosm of America as a whole.

New York had its time. I lived there years ago and never go back. Now its plain over rated. If you are a country bumpkin you are not going to fit in.

NY is filthy and over crowded. It you used to be the place where it got everything fast and exclusively on able to get it there. S**t since the internet came up, that caveat is gone.

Miami is the best ;)

New York is not a place I want to visit, let alone live.

Yes New York is expensive.. and Yes you need to make around $100,000 to live without going crazy. The problem is the squeeze on the middle class. Cause in New York .. technically middle class is 75K – 160K anything under that YOUR POOR! – don’t kid yourself.. by thinking your noT!..

I was born and raised in Ny but i been in Maryland for about 3 years and i must say… Ny is not worth it anymore.. Thought about moving back, but there would be no point… Everyone I know out there is struggling… Love NY but just isnt worth it anymore

NY sucks I broke out about 4 years ago because it’s not worth the money to live is a filthy city. Plus they obviously trying to get all the middle class out of NY. so nY will only be the truly wealthy and truly poor.

I am a Native New Yorker who fled Jamaica Queens 10yr ago. when I saw my college education was’nt paying off plus the crime rate was not attractive.Still in all as you said a New Yorker will never truely leave N.Y. I headed west To A.Z. and now am on my way to G.A.Cost of living is cheaper and Its close enough to visit “HOME”.

I thought this was all common knowledge already – my question has always been – y even try 2 live in NY? I think it’s a waste.

I agree with SenorCafeDa2nd. I lived in NYC for 18 yrs, moved to Boston 2 yrs ago thinking all would be well and fall into place little by little. Took an annual salary cut of $8,000 it was literally starting over again and now I’m back but in New Jersey where rent is affordable and the same job I held for 4 years is close by, I utilize my bus pass and save tons of money on fare. If I were to get and opportunity in NYC I would commute as well.

Sigh. Duh, this article is common sense. I can’t understand why people keep rushing to New York anyway. Much better quality and cost of living Down South. I’m soooo ready to leave the East Coast. New York is just as overpriced as it is overrated. But I like to go and visit from time to time.

“Then there are the inferior quality schools and the long, uncomfortable commutes on public transportation for people who live outside Manhattan, in one of the outer boroughs”

I refused to read it past this point…
Obviously, he doesnt know what the hell he is talking about…
If NYC is messed up it for 2 reasons, the hoards of illegal immigrants that utilize City resources: transportation,and food stamps who send their children to our schools but at the same time aren’t paying income tax, and the elimination of the commuter tax… these are people who don’t live in our city who dot pay their fair share of the city resources that they use.

Not so much different from what’s happening in Miami. Although we don’t have the issue with state taxes, the cost of living here is ridiculous, the housing market is terrible. And the wages aren’t great, the middle class is dwindling sharply,and the poverty rate is one of the highest in the nation. Not to mention the terrible school system. Alot of black people are relocating to Atlanta

Are we as a free Nation crumbling? Can anyone stop the decay? “To give is to live!” Many are self centered with their riches! Material riches only! “For a rich man is like a Camel going through a eye of a needle!” “The Lord is my shepard, I shall not want!”

Not surprising, this is happening everywhere…Im from Chicago and the same is happening here! State sales tax is at 10%, unemployment at nearly 10%, black male unemployment almost at 15%, and ridiculously overpriced housing combined with below average wages spells…NO MORE MIDDLE CLASS…Such a shame…well we have the FEDS to thank for this!!

They could always move to Jersey and commute to New York like I do.

Much cheaper cost of living.
