  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

NYC or Seattle? ^^

It's always my dream to be a New Yorker. People give you special treatment if you are a New Yorker :P
 
Many Canadians hate on Toronto because it receives all of the international and national attention. Torontonians complain about conservatives, bitch a lot, are rather cold and think they're located smack-dab at the centre of the universe. Sounds like NYC, that's all. :P

Brooklyn is the epicenter of everything awful in the universe.

Wow, you must have had a bad time in Brooklyn. What a lot of nonsense.

There are bits of Brooklyn that are nasty, and bits that are really nice. Like I said, it's big.

there are parts that are fine, I just really really hate hipsters (aka: williamsburg) ;)

Aha, now we get to it! But what about [STRIKE]Dyke[/STRIKE] Park Slope and so on? There are lots of areas in Brooklyn that aren't permeated by hipsters.
 
Bump!!! Throw in Vancouver. Bloomberg just voted the city one of the top places to live. :P
 
You are comparing apples and oranges. You cannot compare NYC to Vancouver, dude.

NYC rent isn't that expensive if you live in a borough besides Manhattan and are willing to have roommates.
 
Yeah, you're going all over the map Soulseeker.

The whole west coast has earthquakes. I'd stick with NYC if you've always wanted to live there. Live where you want to live. Not where magazine editors/ real estate brokers say you should.

Chelsea is the "official" gay neighborhood of NYC and East Village is nice also. Manhattan rents though are high below 125th Street. Even Harlem is starting to get expensive. You'll definitely need roomates if you decide to rent in Manhattan, you can thank Sex and the City for making every single woman want to move to Manhattan and driving up rents for the rest of us.:-)

Brooklyn is a great place to live and despite all the hipsters doesn't have Manhattan's price tag (yet). It's a good alternative to Manhattan. Brooklyn Heights is very nice but a bit on the expensive side. I'm looking in Park Slope and Carrol Gardens as they are nice and more affordable area. You can also check out Jersey, NYC's unofficial "6th borough." Namely Jersey City and Hoboken.

You should really have no problem finding like minded gay guys in any of the five boroughs as NYC is a gay "mecca" city. Possible the gay mecca of the nation.

If your income is $100,000 than a single person can live well off of that, even in New York. You should take a look at the City Data and Wired New York forums. Lots of helpful info there.
 
I just want to find the best place to live ^ ^. Do you think you can be my tour guide :D when I am done with studying abroad in Australia 3 years from now? I can pay in Tantric message :P What makes you choose New York but not San Frans, Robert?
 
I heard New York is extremely cliquish. Is it true? ^^ How do you fit in NY for an Asian eccentric Pagan?

^ ^What about San Franc, hottie?

Does San Franc have a lot of clouds?

I currently live in Fort Worth/Dallas, and we have a lot of clouds.

And when I move, I want the place I'm moving to - to have a lot of clouds, too.

Seattle - much better climate and somewhat more affordable I believe. Why live in a place you have to work 3 jobs to pay rent?

When I was in Ft. Lauderdale, a lot of people I saw around the city had heavy New York accents and New York license plates. In the Dunkin Donuts there, a police officer and a woman recognized each other from Staten Island and were talking about why they had decided to move:

"I lived there all my life, and it's even getting too expensive and crowded for ME! It's 20 dollars just for a sandwich, for cryin' out loud. It's gotten so bad after nine-eleven."



And to give you an idea of how small the apartments are there:

I think it would be a lot easier to find work in Seattle, too. Correct me if i'm wrong.
 
Well, I'm from New York (though now I consider myself to be "from" California because it's where I've been living for 4 years), Manhattan specifically, and I know it can be expensive, especially where I'm from. It all really depends on the life style you want to live. If you want to live in the middle of all the action in the city expect to pay thousands upon thousands a month but if you're content living in one of the other boroughs and commuting to the city to be part of the night life it's much more affordable (but stay clear of Staten Island, the things people say about it are, sadly, true in many cases. I have family there I don't even like being associated with, they're just gross. And you literally live in a dump). Regardless, you'll have a great time as long as you have somebody there, whether it be friends of family that you can talk to and who can help you out, and keep an eye on your finances.
