My sister moved to NYC to "live the dream" and she is considering moving back. She moved there from Winston-Salem, which isn't anywhere near as nice as Cary, and she says that NYC is basically a gigantic shithole if you aren't rich.

Also, she pays $600 a month for a dump that has bed bugs and rats and roaches - and it's a studio, one-room apartment with THREE other room mates. The rent is $2400 a month for a one-room apartment in Brooklyn.

She says the novelty wears off very quick because you are so poor. In Cary (I'm sure you know this) you can get a sweet 1200 ft. 2-BR 1-BA apartment for <$1000 a month.
