As someone who currently lives in NYC, I personally prefer it to San Francisco, but I wouldn't call it better without comparison. A lot of the cheap rent is a longer commute away-- like is the case with SF.
In the case of Google, they have shuttles in California, and I would personally take a shuttle over the subway any day.
I'm not living in the cheapest apartment I could find (tried that before and regretted it twice, both because it wasn't that cheap, and because it was horrible), and as far as I've researched I'd pay about the same as I would in San Francisco.
- akhilcacharya 8y agoI'm pretty sure they have shuttles in NYC too. I live in Boston and my company has shuttles to the suburbs as well. All of the Big4 do.
- tetromino_ 8y agoNo, Google does not have shuttles in NYC. There is no need for them (the Port Authority building literally stands on top of a subway station) and it would be nearly impossible to run them (even if you ignore the traffic, there isn't any space next to the building to legally park a shuttle).
- akhilcacharya 8y agoInteresting. Even my old internship had shuttle buses in NYC.
- jchendy 8y ago> I would personally take a shuttle over the subway any day. If you're crossing any bridges or tunnels, a 15 minute train ride could easily be 45 minutes in a shuttle or car.
- habosa 8y agoTook that shuttle for 2 years. It's nice but ... it's still a bus. There's no nice way to be on a bus for 3hr a day. I'd much prefer the subway, which is much faster.
