pazzo83 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Why did you ever move from VA to NYC? Virginia is so much nicer then New York, not to mention the people are so much nicer NYC is awesome, I do like it here. At some point I'll head back south to DC but not anytime soon.

I've lived in this area all my life. NYC is a nice place to visit. Cool to go to Yankee games or catch a show or go to a comdedy club once in a while but afterwards it's nice to head home to place where I can see the stars and have peace and quiet.

To each their own. I'm 25 and about to start an internal medicine residency and couldn't be happier its in NYC. Convenience, everything at your fingertips, all the entertainment you can think of, in addition to having family and friends here. Do I want to raise a family here though? Or live here for more than 5-6 years? No not a chance. But when you're young and trying to live life to the fullest there is no better city than NYC.

Yea, the main drawback is not having a car. It's actually pretty difficult to physically leave NYC when you have to depend on transit a lot of the time, so I don't really leave the island all that much. If I had a car I'd definitely get out more. Although I do like my neighborhood; it's pretty local-feeling. If I lived by Times Sq or something I'd probably kill myself.

I can be in NYC in about 25 minutes. Upstate NY in a half hour. PA in 45 minutes and AC in an hour and 45 minutes. Philly in just under 2 hours. It's the best of both worlds. Close to everything but I have a house on 3/4 an acre of property with a lawn, trees, three cars and three dogs. It's a different life style. I'd kill myself in the city. My sister on the other hand is living in Queens (law student at St. Johns). One time it took me 2 1/2 hours to get there from here. I live 37 miles from KLGA per my GPS.

Yeah I miss not working in the city and having 50 different lunch places within a 2 block walk of my office. But I don't miss the walk through Herald/Times Square to get there.

It's also what you're used too. I've lived in the country so to speak my whole life. I'd be lost without a house and property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Very true. I definitely want to raise a family in the suburbs...whether it is CT, westchester or north shore of LI I love my location out in Morris County, NJ. It's also far enough west to cash in on most of the borderline snow events The only drawback is that the taxes are high, but the property value is high so you get what you pay for.

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 My ideal setup is a primary house on the beach somewhere in the confines of SOCAL and secondary house somewhere near Big Bear at 10,000+ averaging about 600 inches a year. 70's and sun one day to 70 inches of snow the next...

Exercising outside isnt nearly the same....the heat sucks for those who have to be out in it all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
