    I lived in NYC for 17 years.
    Truth is the city needs more guys like you - white Americans who's information come from the movies. White so that you have a well paying job and the landlord doesn't feel bad about overcharging you on rent; American so that you don't have immigrant connections (that cut the rent by 1/3 to 1/2); and uninformed so that you go straight for what NYC is not - Manhattan - the city you know from the movies.

    After sometime in NYC you realize that Manhattan is a ghetto of overprices bodegas and premium priced but mediocre quality restaurants and move to the real New York: Brooklyn or Queens (also the Bronx). Then, since by now you know an immigrant or two you get an immigrant hookup on your rent and start living well as your rent is cheap (around 1k-1.5k), your local bodega is cheap (about 50-70% less than Manhattan), the good is delicious and semi-cheap and you still have this nice white-American well paying job.

    • You also live in an immigrant apartment that never gets repaired.cannonball1978
