Hey to each his own. Not everyone has the same circumstances and I can completely relate. I moved to NYC to get involved in the startup scene but only after my daughter had graduated high school and I was free to do my own thing. It's not for everyone that's for sure. I can't even get some people to visit NYC let alone live here. So I get it. But to see it how I see it let me give you this analogy - I see NYC as a gold mine. It's not all bad but it's not all good. The money that can be made here is astronomical. But it comes with sacrifice. Some people are not willing or simply can't sacrifice their current lifestyle to move here.

Keep in mind that for many people it's exactly the lifestyle which makes NYC attractive... certainly it's not for everyone (some people just want a big lawn and lots of parking at the mall)—but it is for many people. [I don't want to move back to the U.S., but if I do, NYC is one of the very few places I can imagine living....]
