Huh? There are literally millions of people in NYC getting by just fine in NYC making $70k or less. You're not going to live a white-bread suburban dream though

Huh? There are literally millions of people in NYC getting by just fine in NYC making $70k or less. You're not going to live a white-bread suburban dream though. The funny thing is, NYC has a great public transit system in Manhattan (and an OK system in the boroughs) and lots of access to free or cheap cultural activities. I grew up in Queens and went to the beach, dozens of museums, concerts, etc with my mom. The vast majority of people, in all sorts of places, and at all sorts of income levels lack the ability to pay for a $15,000 dental procedure.
