Not that I disagree much, apart from one thing - that places like NY have 'everything'. If you like nature, mountains, adrenaline sports, weekend adventures without crazy commute, then NY has none.
Irrelevant to some, but folks like me couldn't be bothered to even consider it even if my take home salary went 10x.
- simonh 6y agoIf I could work in NY for 5 years and could earn 50 years worth of income and literally retire for life afterwards? I think I could find a way to bear it.
- ghaff 6y agoI think that's fair. But there are very few people who are earning, say, $100K/year who could earn a reasonably guaranteed $1M/year if they would only move to NYC. I agree that if you can earn a life-changing amount of money if you only have to move to some (relatively safe) place for a few years, that's probably something most people would consider.
- dashundchen 6y agoI mean, the Adirondacks and Vermont are pretty amazing and are a weekend trip's distance away from New York. You can even reach them by daily Amtrak from New York. Poconos aren't very far either. And I've never been to Long Island but it would seem there's plenty of beach/natural shoreline.
- Grazester 6y agoThere is the entire Hudson Valley, Appalachian Trail and Adirondacks(as dashundchen pointed out). The Hudson Valley start less than 30 miles outside the city. People in NYC often rent Zipcars run out there for the day.
