You are absolutely wrong brother. I will never live in a state as liberal, where I can't drive, own a gun, etc. as New York. For any amount of money.
How much would it take?

You can not offer me a number allowing me to compromise and abandon by rights, freedoms and principals which would occur by living in NYC.
When I was fresh out of college, Chicago was a fine option to chase the dollars and tail. Worked out well for many years, but the hour plus commute, and oppressive taxes and everyday expenses make me look forward to the day my kids are out of school so I can leave this god forsaken state. Based on what I know about NY, the story would be the same.
"Just send me to hell or New York City, it would be about the same to me"
The only way I would take a job there is if I could do it remotely far away from there.

What am I wrong about? I didnt say it was better then anywhere else. I stated facts from experience.
I have no desire to even visit there.
Kill off all the liberal politicians, all the liberal locusts, bulldoze the city to start over, and $10 million a year will get me to think about it.

I visited there right before Christmas and had a blast. I wouldn't want to live and work there though.
Have you ever visited the city ??? What part would you be working in ???
Who knows. I'm as confused by that post as you are. Apparently he really doesn't like NYC.
You said us southerners didn't like the city because of its speed, diversity, etc. That's not at all why I dislike and wouldn't live in NY/C. I'm sure it's a cool place to visit on a vacation, just like California, and I'd really like to sometime, but I couldn't live there with all the restriction, laws, etc.
Yeah, I audit investment managers and a large portion of them are in NYC so I have visited quite a few times. The firm that offered is on West Street.
Price per square foot in NY City averages $1500.00. So a 600 sqft condo would cost $900k.... That's the avgerage too.... Better location can be as high as $2800.00 per sqft. So that same 600sqft would be $1.68 Million!
That's just purchase price... Add HOA, property tax etc.....
I'm thinking no matter what the offer I would say NO!

Live in NJ. 900k can buy a palace within a 30 minute train ride even with the ****ed out property taxes.
No, NJ is no paradise before everyone attacks with the obvious. But working in NYC and living there don't necessarily go hand in hand.

I absolutely love NYC, to visit, one or twice a year. I spent a few weekends visiting my cousin who was an au pair in Scarsdale we took the train into the city from her employers home. Not a commute I would want to make on the regular. I love big city life in very small doses that and the San Franciscan type politics are a big no for me.
Cities are neat. I enjoyed being in the downtown part of KC and then in Toronto where you can pretty much walk everywhere. Go get drunk and walk home is probably my favorite part.
But still, being from down here and having a big yard to watch the dogs run around and a place to wrench on my cars, I was jonesing to come back after 3 days.

Read what I wrote again. I never said you southerners dont like the city. I said you're not used to big cities and diversity like NYC.
