Pros and Cons of Living in NYC (Worth It?)

Pros: You live in NYC!

Cons: You live in NYC.

Was visiting NYC not too long ago and was totally in love with it. And yes, there is a hell of lot of noise everywhere. One thing that really deters to you live there, it is frigging expensive. But your videos about NYC makes you want to go back!

I’m sure people are career driven, but you can tell it feels a little personal for native guy 😅

Another con is the stinking marijuana that its allowed... however it is outweighted by the beauty culture of the city

NYC? *Not as Your Conjecture?* 😂

Great to visit but not to live in....

Great to visit but not to live in....

Was ther3 any big/major city that is not noisy?

From toronto, looking forward to moving there!

NY is the place to be that's why all refugees want to move there....Start spreadin' the news....I'm leavin' today
I want to be a part of it.....New York, New York

Humidity is THE killer for me. Summer in places like Tokyo, for instance, are a different kind of hell- hit over 92% humidity yesterday, not easily topped haha

Toronto is not much different then New York for rent...you would be lucky to find a decent 1 bedroom for 2000 a month...less crime, safer, better transit, people are nicer...list goes on and on. 24 hour food delivery is nothing to write home about anymore man... you guy can keep your $26Pastrami sandwich. Toronto is a better place to live period.

Used to dream of living there as a kid but now i would live anywhere else

I live in new york city for some time, originally from brazil and everything he said is true haha, the cons are really a big deal but if you can handle especially the cost of living i think its a great place to live actually(also theres cons like crime that its even worse in brazil, just being able to walk on the streets with my phone on my hand without being afraid someones gonna assault me its a blessing). There isnt any place like it and i dont think ill come back to brazil, i am loving the experience🇺🇲🇺🇲❤

Ive lived in NYC for over 20 yrs. I ended up leaving NYC mid 20s bc i felt like i was in an invisible cage or was hitting a ceiling in my overall growth & paradigms due to my direct environment of drugs, weed, partying every weekend & staying up super late. I grew up in the Upper West Side & went to a private highschool school in the bronx. And college in Massachussetts then Art School in downtown Manhattan. The area i grew up in was the Hispanic / Dominican area of Manhattan & looking back i now realize how my environment played a role in my overall growth, both the good and the bad. After being in LA for the past 5 years chasing my dreams, im considering going back to be closer to the rest of my family, especially my Dad & Mom since theres only so much time they have left on this earth. I think its healthy to see new places. Ive always wanted to live in California all my life & the state overall is beautiful & theres a lot to see & do here. Theres still a lot of places i want to go or revisit, like hawaii, up north, san diego, mexico, etc while I’m here but being away from NYC after being there so long has given me a real deep look at how, you can chase your dreams anywhere, but environmental does play a big role at how small or how big youre able to think at a given age. Once you can expand your mind to new heights & possibilities, theres nothing except your own self limiting beliefs saying that you cant achieve just as much if not more, back in a place like the big apple bc theres so many networking opportunities everywhere & so many dope ppl if you just put yourself out there regularly & surround yourself with likeminded ppl. Excited to see where the next 5 yrs takes me now that ive been able to hit some major bucket list goals in my life, despite the many cons, like the weather, dirtiness, traffic, crime, congestion & cost of living. The goal is to be somewhere peaceful, where there’s sufficient nature & parks & i can step out and ride a bike or skate & not feel overcrowded or disgusted, even if that means being outside of manhattan, like yonkers, brooklyn, queens or even jersey

Con number one is politicians. I preferred it when the five families ran the city, at least they are my people. Diversity is not a strength.

the Bengali community and their foods are truly great

New York's sauna summers are one thing I've found unpleasant about the city.

I've wanted to live in NYC all my life. I'm originally from there but my family moved to Nashville, TN, where I am now, when we were 5. I've always wanted to move back. I lived in San Francisco for 5 years and it's very different from NYC.

I love New York but i prefer Montreal ( A mix of NYC and PAris)also a walkable city , build on an island 10 times the size of Manhattan . Montreal is the safest city of 5 million n'habitant, best food, fashion city , UNESCO city of design , best night life, friendly people and beautiful . Montreal is # 1 most sutainable city in the world, the greenest , # 4 in the world for biking infrastructure, 2nd after NYC for the number of retsuarants per capita , multicultural and people speak both officila languages of CAnada , engins and french plus many other languages . The subway is the safest, cleanest , modern and fast . Big parties in Montreal with world class international artists and DJ . Like NYC , MOntreal i

problem is the super wealthy. The prices are too high, no new talent can sustain and build. Big loss

Everybody talks about how the people in NY (or, in America, in general), don`t have time for anything, they are workaholics, don`t want to go out and so on...I am an European, born in Romania, lived in Rome and London, now back in Romania. I am telling you, technically, people here have much free time, less work, but, well, guess what...they are also always busy, always complaining, it is so hard for me to find somebody to go on a trip with or even to have visitors to my house. So, what am I missing? We have free time, ok, but what are we doing with it? I consider moving to New York, next year. Maybe I just can`t find my place nowhere in Europe, maybe New York is more suitable for me. I can work long hours, if I knopw that at least I am making money and have a LIFE. Thoughts?

greedy people have ate the poor out of house in home literally

i’m from the UK and it’s been my dream to live in NYC, im also considering going there for uni but the prices just makes it seem like it wouldn’t be worth it

In other words it’s hole ..

Wasn’t expecting momo within the first minute haha sending love from 🇳🇵 would still love to live in NYC even if it’s for awhile

Trust me the weather in NYC is 100 percent better than ireland

Me, living in St. Petersburg, Russia, laughing when he said the weather sucks in NYC😂
The city is literally built on a swamp. Humidity is always high, temps can be as high as 30° C (86 F) in the summer and as low as -25° C (-13 F) the winter

NY is over due to crime, so is LA, Detroit, Baltimore, Chicago southside and all of Oakland

You haven't seen dirty cities bro😂😂😂

Your presentation skills are exceptional. You do a better job than most journalists on tv.

too many black, asians, muslims and liberals in NY

Food. Networking. Everthing else pretty much sucks. Not an attractive city and the people are just not great. Worked in the city and have lived coast to coast. People are just bottom of the barrel. Gotten much worse post covid. But the food is so good I can’t help but go back.

I just got back from 8 days in New York and have to say that the biggest surprise is that its nothing like you see on tv. I was out doing photography until 2 am and didn’t feel unsafe. And people for the most part were nice.

Two things that I detest about living in NYC- dog poop and parking!! I can take everything else! NYC ❤

No new Yorker buys tickets to depart from Newark😂😂😂

The taxes are insane in nyc. And it vanished over migrants and stupid things

I'll put it this way , if your single and don't have kids New York will probably be okay for you , if you have a family with kids DO NOT live here if your about building a foundation. But NYC is really what you make of it. Not my cup of tea but it's true what Frank Sinatra said if you can make it here you can make it anywhere

Looks like a cool place to visit ....a shithole to live in ( unless you were born there and thats all you know )

NYC is just a pile of trash. Heavily supersaturated, heavily taxed and all the tax money literally fills up the pockets of politicians. People are working multiple jobs just to stay afloat. Heavily regulated from all corners. In order to make a decent living, you need to be making a minimum of 6 figure salary.

1)The Puerto Rican girls. 2)The pizza. 3)The Yankees. 4)Rockaway Beach. Those are NYC's ONLY virtues, which one can enjoy all in the same day, then leave. I could fill a Manhattan Yellow Pages with all of that toilet's IRRITATING shortcomings. I left in 1999, and have happily and proudly never looked back after living my first 28 years there. STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM NYC!

I’d prefer living in a suburban town in New York like quite a ways from the main city

Food ???? I'm from Paris (France) and I get sick just smelling the products used to cook.
You guys do not know what the real taste of tomato is, same for all vegetables.

I feel sorry for you.

Not that many pros. He mentioned food, food, food but there are more cons.

There is no Pros to living in NYC! It is over crowded, dirty and dangerous. Why on bloody earth would you want to come here unless you're wicked. The women might just give you a good time or STD. Good luck? lol

Pros: Food
Cons: Noise
