NY is happiest for those who can buy a brownstone or spacious apartment. say you live in new york but you only stay there for 3 weeks at a time before you go to your property in south of France, Colorado or whatever..

I believe that.
although it's probably the most desirable place to live at the same time.- True. People don't want to be happy. They want to "make it".freedom
- I like that free.ohhhhhsnap

Relatively, New York has a very educated and intelligent populace. If you believe that ignorance equals bliss, then the results of this study makes obvious sense.

my friends that visit me variously for 1 week a year inevitably enjoy their time here and take advantage of the city more than i do the rest of the year.

Had to work out there for 2 months... A month in and I was going batshit. All hype no substance now... I'll take my fair city of London any day of the week.

So the CDC asks people if they're "satisfied with their lives" and New Yorkers say "no" and they conclude theyre unhappy? That's a bullshit conclusion if ice read one.
All New Yorkers are ambitious and wouldn't get out of bed unless they had some shred of in satisfaction. We work hard and play hard and it's never good enough because this place is already so great.
I have lived in some amazing cities and NYC makes me happier than ever.

Im born and raised in NY. The "New Yorkers work hard and play hard" explanation is bullshit. You are either young and can stomach a lot of shit the lifestyle force feeds you, you are older and sucking someones dick, or you are born rich and staying in the area for dick sucking. The idea that NYC is in any way some social pinnacle is boucht into and then perpetrated by the suckers. There is a huge world oustide the boroughs.
- sorry about the work hard play hard thing... i really meant like, work hard and enjoy the good stuffmonospaced

^ I'm none of those things, and I love this place. I'm in my young 30s, there's no shit lifestyle being force fed to me whatsoever, and I'm neither sucking someone's dick nor born rich. I worked my ass off, got a great job in the city, and it's enough to be more than comfortable and plan a life. The city has a ton to offer, especially for those who enjoy food exploration and culture and music, as you very well know. I also love that this city is packed with FREE stuff to do. Shit, just going out and about on a nice day is like going to an amusement park.
- so, who's dick are you sucking?GeorgesIV

- I guess anyone who works for someone else is doing some sort of dick sucking work, regardless of location or citymonospaced

Sorry im jaded this morning. But yeah i stand by many of my comments. Unless you have some sort of executive privilege you will always be playing catch-up in that city, especially as a creative professional. The lifestyle is it's own reward.
