Do you like NYC
>>
Yeah, it's great. There are the obvious inconveniences that come with living in such a densely populated city, but in my opinion the negatives far outweigh the positives.
It's a great place to move if you have no friends since there's so much to do. I used to live in a city of about 150k people where there would be a concert or festival worth going to once a month tops. In NYC it's literally an every day thing. Within 2 months of moving here I'd made more friends than I'd ever had in my entire life prior to coming here, and I achieved it just by going to random shows and whatnot until I met people I liked, through which I met even more people I liked.
I don't think I could ever raise a family here though, so eventually I'm going to have to leave. You can tank the high cost of living in New York when you're young and single, but to pay for all of the expenses of raising a child is just way too much, even with a dual income from your spouse. The only people I know who have kids are either very well off or have been living here for generations and don't want to leave.

...
you mean positives far outweigh the negatives
>>
i unironically love the hustle and bustle of the big city
>>
>>222436802
Yes. I've been there before. It has a lot of charm, very busy place. The sidewalks are always full of people. they call it many things but i think the most fitting nickname is "City That Never Sleeps"
>>
No. It's a shithole. Got out as soon as I could.

>>222437004
lol, yes that's what I mean. I need to pay more attention to what I've written before I hit post.
>>222437026
Living here has convinced me that meme and others like it must have been created by total losers trying to cope with their loneliness (speaking as a former loser). There's nothing to dislike about living in a busy area unless you're an antisocial sperg.

I don’t know why transplants are always the most zealous shills for the City, is it cope because you spent most of your life in Flyover, Missouri?

Bro that could mean anything lol half of the area a hour outside of Manhattan is the sticks

>>222437285

VGH...

>>222436972
Hey, I moved to NYC and am having trouble making friends. Any tips on where I can find shows or other activities to meet people?
>>
>>222436981
It is 1000% not a European vibe lol
>>
Any city where half of your income goes to paying rent is a shithole
>>
>>222436972
how do you meet people at shows?
>>
>>222437124
less than 1% of nyc's population is born there and 0.2% of that population will die there.

>>222437955
he means walkable and with lots of older architecture so yes it kind of is
>>222437459
>>222437455
literally right across the Hudson River mmk
>>
>>222438175
>he means walkable and with lots of older architecture so yes it kind of is
In that regard yes, but NYC is entirely its own thing. No European city I've been to has the same "vibe" as New York.
>>
>>222437946
do you wanna hang out anon? my contact info is here >>222437064

>>222438242

I hate this jeet tranny shithole and the only reason I haven't committed a mass shooting is because I am not sub-5.

Good place to be a welfare queen and get free shekels out of the state.

Also being an isolated incel is basically 100% guaranteed unless you are rich, tall, or handsome.

Cost of living is very high and you basically won't be able to afford anything the normalniggers wypipo do.

Lots of crackheads you can hang out and talk with.

Good medical care.

I enjoyed living there for a year, yeah. 4chan chuds get all butthurt and seethe about it, but it's a really fun city to be in if you're willing to go outside and enjoy partying in people's apartments, going to big events like concerts and sports matches, etc... Great city for a young man in his 20s but I understand why you wouldn't have a good time there as a future parent trying to raise kids.
The thing about the subway being full of weirdos is true, but I also saw a shitload of crackheads and other dodgy characters when I roadtripped through "Red States" so I don't know what gave them the impression that they're somehow better than New York in that sense.
>>222436981
European? Literally nowhere in Europe looks like Manhattan, maybe some parts of Brooklyn look like parts of London/Manchester/etc. but even that's stretching it imo.

>>222437124
>people who willingly choose to live somewhere like the place they chose to move to out of their own free will
Fucking shocker? It's the same here in Melbourne
>>222438500
It's different from European cities because it's literally not Europe, same reason why you can't really equate Tokyo to anywhere in Europe.
Since you're Brazilian, it's probably more like Sao Paulo more than anything.
>>
>>222438764
In terms of engineering? Unsurpassed almost peerless, there will never be another like it the city broke new ground constantly it's practically the blueprint for the modern world. As someone who lives in New York state and needs to deal with their municipal government larping as a city state? Burn it to the ground. The rest of the US has performative hate for NYC, the people who live in the state and outside the city mean it.

Appreciate the gumption of the guy trying to get the couch onto the subway, even if he's retarded. The rest is horrific
