> If you insist on living in NYC for any reason Believe it or not, there are people out there who find NYC to be a desirable place to live. Not everyone wants to live in a suburb.

  Not technically, no, but this language: > If you insist on living in NYC for any reason Strongly suggests that living in NYC is only something people do if they have reason to _insist_ on it, and not because it's just a place where people want to live. Someone could just as well say that "If you insist on living in a suburb for any reason, then working from home is probably more comfortable..."

    New York is culturally known as a city that never sleeps, an expensive city, a crowded city, a city with muggy summers and bone-chilling winters, etc. There have been countless songs, books, and tweets written about how it takes a certain level of resolve to thrive there. That doesn't mean that people don't enjoy living there.

      Not sure if this was meant towards me or the parent comment, but I'll mention that I am a satisfied NYC resident.

    You’re reading too much into it. And yes, someone could insist on living in a suburb. Urban and suburban living each have their own advantages. Therefore one could insist on living in each for any reason, hence my comment.

      I don't think I'm reading too much into it. There is a big difference between these two sentiments: > If you live in NYC > If you insist on living in NYC for any reason

    This is a silly argument but I disagree. Seemed like a perfectly neutral statement to me, including "I insist on living in NYC because I think it's the best place to live"
