But Murray Hill Guy says it's the greatest city in the world. Everyone I know who lived there says otherwise (and is no longer there)... I mean maybe if you're a trust fund baby who works out for a living - but that's not reality for most of us.

it works for certain kinds of people. ironically it works for people who are either super successful like that woman that was stabbed to death or for niggers on welfare. it doesn't really work for normal people.

in NYC you have ivy league graduates who work 100 hour weeks ( like a high school friend of mine who went to yale and lived in China to learn Chinese ) and they pay $10,000 / month rent to live NEXT DOOR to low income housing projects where nigger drug dealers live for free on welfare ... it is not a sane place ... but it works for the people who live there because they are not sane people. @Prince Aleph

in NYC you either need a masters / PHD from from Yale and work 100 hours / week looking at financial statements OR you need to be on welfare no in-between it is a completely bipolar place where people worth tens of millions are riding on the subway next to homeless crackheads in Florida it's mostly in-between people or upper middle class folks who have retired except in Miami of course @Prince Aleph
