Executive privilege? Catch up to what? I know you're feeling jaded, but what you're saying simply doesn't apply to everyone you've lumped in there.
Anyway, why the fuck am I defending NYC? I'm not from here, I've only lived here 6 years. Is it better than San Francisco...yeah, to me it is, I'm happier here than I've ever been.
Happier than ever but New York has taught me to never be satisfied. Maybe that's what this city's all about... it's a place for people who aren't satisfied, who are always hungry for more, regardless of what they have. It's a city of ambition, from what I can see.
Sorry for the rant. Also having one of those mornings. I hate the muggy summers on this coast.

- I hear you though. It's a rough place... I'm from a smaller beautiful green city that's connected to nature.monospaced

- Never satisfied? Nice life.freedom
- Can one be happy and unsatisfied at the same time? By hunger you mean mice in a maze?yurimon
- I think the unsaticiefide thing relates to material facts that your rent is going to go up. and if you want to go out n eatyurimon
- its going to be expensive.yurimon
- no, not about food... more about things like a retirement and savings for kids' college... buying a housemonospaced
- NY offers me a lifestyle that allows me to do that, and the game of saving and winning is fun... I'm never fully satisfiedmonospaced
- Hows you're spiritual growth in all this winning of savings? Hows the game in the long term when society falls apart?yurimon
- It's fine thank you. And yours?monospaced
- And i get blamed for being vagueyurimon

Agree with pr2, I lived here for seven years. I just moved to a neighborhood in Brooklyn which is so far away from what's been described in this thread earlier that it sounds like two completely different worlds.
It's expensive yes, but so are all other major cities in the world and in comparison, you get a better bang for your buck (rent excluded) then anywhere else.
Yes, working a corporate gig in Midtown probably sucks dick but if you can make a good income from your freelance work regardless of field there's no better place to live.

Work your ass off, fight to get impressive clients, win awards = there's still a million people + richer than you with nicer townhouses and having more fun.

New York City is the definition of a love/hate relationship.

There is a very simple solution to your problem.
I've adopted it here at the office, for all the floaters and complainers.Pretty simple too.
If you're not happy, get the fuck out.

Do all the people on minimum wage and retail live in Queens or Jersey? How do they even apply for leases?
- low income housing for a lot of themdirtydesign
- either live in the bronx or projects, rest with parents or not sure you can even rent a room.yurimon
- Even people who work for like Apple stores?freedom
- i would assume apple store isn't minimum wage. brooklyn, queens and harlem are somewhat affordable.dirtydesign
