If you have kids and want to a decent pace of life, go to chicago.

I don't think I'd go to NYC and complain. Every time I've visited, I've loved it. I'm just trying to get a gauge between the two, and what it might be like to live there. From what you guys are saying, it's NYC. The thing about crime in Chicago is kind of disconcerting too. Although, I've never felt unsafe in NYC.
- you live here for a while see how it goes...everyone complains within 1 to 2 yearsyurimon

It's just surprises me of all the crime still happening these days in New York.

What you could do ...
Move to Chicago with a plan to move to NYC. It is easier that way for many folks. Quite a bit of people get shelled shocked when they come to NY to live. Some make it with an ease and others freak out.
Chicago is an easy starter big city.
- If you can handle the crime in Chicago, you will feel so safe in NYC.
- If you can handle apartment in Chicago, hope you are downsizing from your current as you will down size even further in NYC.
- If you can handle the weather in Chicago, you will feel warm and cozy when you are here.
- If you think pace in Chicago is fast, reconsider moving to NYC.
- You have kids? Stay in Chicago. Unless you want to live in NJ.
- You think Chicago is dirty? Well try living with that x10.
- Hate the noise in Chicago? I know when the garage truck come every night and when the drunk kids go home.

chicago has deep dish pizza only.. while nyc has nyc pizza of all kinds and its best of the world..
i said it in the first post and ill say it now.. and i live in florida too.. goto new york.. fuck all the other states. you will earn more, make more opportunities, deliver more and receive more.
if you are stuck on cost of living.. why not try it? and decide if you cant hack it.. there is always chicago..
florida sucks so much that since i left nyc for this job that i always wanted has been a let down.. so i can relate to your annoyances of this ridiculous state.
nyc has everything to offer.. it is up to you to figure your place out.. i can say that the rest of america cant offer that same thing in the slightest.. maybe they have their own environments .. but i like to think that from all the nt'rs i ever met who left their home for nyc love it .. just reading dinky's posts in this thread should make it worth it.. hell he left canada which is basically chicago.. and he love nyc!! everything that brings him newness is because of nyc only..
or just listen to us pure bloods.. we were born there. we arent telling you to come.. in fact most new yorkers dont want more people flocking us for the reasons we love it so much.. meh..
deep dish pizza?!?! what the fuck dominoes is that?!!?
wack ass garbages!!! and their weather sucks balls!!
:P
- NYC is totally a good place to figure things out... whereas Chicago is a place to settleSigDesign
- Don't forget that Chicago has the fat chicks.monospaced

It's always New York vs X
There is a reason why.
Wait, did you google 'greatest city in the world' yet?
- 20020
I don't even know why we are having this debate. If you can't decide on New York, it's not a city for you.
- SigDesign0
had to google the greatest city thing... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/prope… ... half are in Australia?! These top ten lists are so dumb
- 20020
Yeah top ten are dumb. thats why when you look at the result, it just says new york, new york, new york, new york, new york..

NYC is a tough city, but if you have a good job already lined up, just do it. That way realtors are happy to deal with you.
