I think that exorbitant cost of living is a large part of what makes it miserable. That and overcrowding. You can get around town really without the cost of a car. For a little time and $3 you can go damned near anywhere in the city (and let's admit: with traffic and the wrong time of day, the subway can come in at a shorter ride than a taxi). How many places in the US can you do that? Remote working may not make that such a big deal, but then you add entertainment and other activities. Fix the two major issues and maybe a good City government, and it could be far from miserable.
