The only happy people in NYC are Boston fans. :)

I was raised in NYC, and also lived in the suburbs. There's pros and cons to both areas. The biggest con for me about NYC is property is too expensive, and the one's available doesn't have a backyard, patio and isn't spacious as something i'd find in the suburbs.
It's really like a crowded fishtank which is a stressor after a while. I was living by Madison Square Garden, and I didn't like going out to get groceries because there'd be a mob of people i'd have to walk through just to buy breakfast or whatever. Walking the dogs was a bitch.
The pros of NYC is the diversity, and access to the best foods and shopping. There's more opportunities here, in a perfect world, I'd have the ideal job and home in a diverse suburb so that's why i'm checking out NJ.

In the suburbs, if I wanted to go to the movies and I get in my car and drive with easy parking. In NYC, you gotta take the crowded subways with a bunch of strangers standing diagnally, and parking is also a bitch here.

I'm not sure why, but the fruits and veggies make me gag as if there's more pesticides or something, where I had no problems in the burbs. The milk also expires faster here for some reason, like before the expiration dates. I can only eat organic stuff here.
- I agree, I believe they ship lesser quality goods to NYC b/c most people make fast decisions shopping

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

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.
- oooh that's why I'm so dumb,

And.........
If you need medical service, it'll take an ambulance longer to get to you because of the traffic and when you get to the hospitals, you'll have to wait longer in some cases which also sucks.
When I lived in the suburbs, the first thing I noticed was how healthy older people looked. They were in their 70's and walking upright and moving around. In NYC, they're hunched over looking like walking corpse. I think there's too much toxins to live here too long so I don't plan on growing old here. It's not a good environment to raise a family. Most of my friends are married with children, where as New Yorkers are talking about rent, buying fondue and spreading herpes.

"I feel like older people are more active in cities. In the suburbs, they stay in their culdesacs and never go anywhere."

That is true, there's a lot of heavy folks around the suburbs. You rarely see that in NYC. When I see tourists, their sizes are disgusting.
NYC has a lot of hot women. They tan right, exercise and wax their bushes to perfection. Just put a condom on.

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.

I've been here already, all I say is that the first two months I hated this place, now I'm starting to enjoy it more.

The burnt smoky roasted peanut stench in my clothes from the peanut vendors is the sole reason I love NYC.
