I’ve lived in a lot of US cities, and none of them are that good for anything but visiting. I’d choose one of the very few where public transportation is functional, or where rents aren’t outrageous (a city that checks both these boxes doesn’t exist in the US).
Pretty much. I’m thinking of going to NYC within a few years. Have you ever lived there? (No need to tell if uncomfortable) I’ve been there before but never got the full picture of what it would be like to live there.
My main reason is to get out of my suburb that is one giant entity that all thinks the same and has no organizational opportunities.
But yeah I’m sure I’ll be hard-pressed to find an affordable apartment
Never lived in NYC, but it’s outrageously expensive, and it’s long been a city for tourists and haute-bourgeios land speculators. Fun to visit, not to live there. It’s public transport is also one of the most disgusting and dangerous ones I’ve ever used.

Watch out, you may be trading the centrist conservative culture for a liberal, hedonistic “grindset” culture that can be just as depressing.
Not that I’ve lived in NYC so I could be totally wrong but I’ve gone a bunch and people from Boston (which I’m more familiar with) are similar.
