Born and raised here..place is a dump. And an expensive dump at that. If you enjoy ****ing your money away, come on down to good ole NYC and check it out. Some people get blinded by the buildings and bright lights from afar. One subway ride to work in the morning with a homeless crackhead next to you ****ing down his leg will gut check you real quick. If that doesn't, then the state AND city taxes coming out of your paycheck while Uncle Sam bends you over certainly will. General rules of society don't apply here, similar to how they don't in an airport. If thats a place where you want to exist, then welcome.
