I hate New York. I live 15 min away, and lived here all my life. Manhattan is where all the materialistic people live. Been there, done that, it sucks. I avoid it as much as possible now. I'm not paying $3000 in rent for a shi**y studio in a place that constantly smells like urine everywhere, has garbage bags everywhere, dog shi* everywhere, vomit everywhere, and where an LIT costs $20 and a dollar beer costs $7. I don't want to buy over priced groceries and only the amount I can carry, and I don't want to get in disgusting smelly subway cars and still spend an hour traveling up and down to see my friends to go to an overpriced restaurant or bar. I hate the fact there is no parking anywhere, and it takes hours to do what I can do in 30 minutes outside of NYC. I pay $4100/month for my 6 bedroom 6 bathroom house which I own 15 minutes away from the GWB and it was the best decision to buy it instead of a piece of shi* apartment in Manhattan. God, I hate that city. It's where you have the richest people in the world, living next to some of the poorest. It's a joke. People living on top of top people on top of people. Crappy bars/restaurants that are longer than they are wider with people crowded on top of each other. I can go on and on and on, but I'll stop right here.
