umm
just out of curiosity, i've been debating on moving to either SF or NYC, depending as well. I had my heart set on SF a few yrs ago bc of the economy and just the artistic slant of the whole city, but it seems there aer a TON of @$$holes there that drive me insane...on the other hand, i just visited manhattan and i was amazed by the incredibly nice people there. admittedly, not as nice and open as in the south, but nice in that, "I'll be nice and warm bc i have to talk to you" sort of way, like people you meet who are doing a job, etc. People on the streets largely ignored me, but that's a lot easier than having 20 million people nodding and smiling and gesturing nicely to each other...
I was incredibly shocked at the nature of NYC considering i was born/raised in the most southern of states that considered anything above the mason dixie line to be akin to hell...
So you say there are actually jobs in NYC? Things that are drawing me there right now are jobs/opportunities, inexpensive public transportation ($70 for metro card per month is ACTUALLY CHEAPER THAN GAS FOR AN ECONOMY CAR FOR ME HERE IN SC...i thought it was expensive to pay $70 for transportation for a month, but then i came back and spent $50 on gas for normal job commute and $50 for insurance per month and $20 for property tax per month)...I also didn't find the winter to be extremely terrible. Summer can't be worse than the 100 deg, 90% humidity here....
sorry for the threadjack
