- ghaff 8y agoNYC is a very mixed bag on quality of life. It depends on what your priorities are.
- justapassenger 8y agoFor some quality of life means being able to get a drink at 3AM. For others - house with a backyard.
- jey 8y agoGood point. Right now it's nearly impractical to have a family in the Bay area. I'd personally like to see a lot of improvement on the supply side in the form of high-density housing in urban centers.
- pratik661 8y agoYou can literally have a house with a backyard and a less than 1 hour commute from Manhattan.
- scarejunba 8y agoAn hour is too much. Ain't nobody got time for one hour commuting each way.
- pratik661 8y agoI agree. An hour is considered a slightly above average commute in the Bay Area. However in NYC its considered way above average. When I was interviewing there, I was low key shocked that the interviewers considered 30 minutes to be a 'long' commute. Thats when I knew I was in the right place. Density + transit is the way to go.
- scarejunba 8y agoI feel you, man. My commute is 25 min door to door and most of that is walking. That’s about the limit I’d accept.
- RandallBrown 8y agoHundreds of thousands, if not millions of people commute more than an hour into Manhattan every day. Just about everyone taking the LIRR or Metro North is commuting at least an hour and if they say they aren't, they're kidding themselves.
- justapassenger 8y ago2h of commute per day to get a backyard maybe good life quality for some. But not for everyone.
