I would never live there under any circumstance, but for someone who does, no other base, for any length of time, makes any sense.

Mega expensive rent, high taxes, ****-hole, horrendous traffic, no criminal enforcement, pay $$$ to park, have to cover all 3 airports (issue for commuters)
pros
best restaurants, people watching, city never sleeps, EVERYthing is available - "if you can't get it there, it aint worth having"
Lived there 20 yrs - loved it, no other place like it on the planet
left 22 yrs ago - can't make me move back in at gunpoint
(pls don't delta I am schizo)

You can live in queens and pay low property tax, don’t have to drive to work or ever fight traffic unless you want to, never mow a lawn again, travel the world on a whim, eat good cheap food.
Claim your primary primary residence as a cheap condo in FL and avoid the high income taxes. If you rent in NY they’ll never try to track you down like CA
