    When you live in NYC and you're not Donald Trump you have two choices, leave NYC or never own property.

    Which sucks cuz NYC seems p awesome.

    Never owning property is a decent option, really.

    Also, what you need to do is find the place with the least amount of crime as close to the city center as you can along the public transit lines that you can afford.

    Sure, this means you end up living in places like Inwood or Astoria or Bushwick or whatever... but considering how the city works, buying in those places is a p sound investment as they will become nice over a 10 year period (in the case of Astoria it is already phase 2 gentrified, parts of Inwood still working through phase 1).

    If renting, you can live in Manhattan proper for not an unreasonable amount of cash if you are a professional with a job that pays appropriate for the region.

    What's the plan for when you no longer earn income? Is renting really an option when you're 80 years old? 401k seems risky there versus property investment 30 years ago.

    live fast die young

    From what I gather, unless you drink a lot, the draws to living in the city are pretty mediocre, if worth it at all. Other than being able to say "yeah I live in NYC, wanna fight about it?"

    A couple options. Either I do end up owning in the city at some point (which in truth has its own massive expenses like building maintenance and city taxes that have to be factored into the retirement plan), or I take my winnings having worked and saved in this hyper-inflated market and move to North Carolina or something where I can outright buy a home and a couple cars.

    It all depends on how the next 30-40 years of my life shape up.

    It depends on uh if you are a social person also I suppose

    If you're happy sitting around at home a lot then yeah why live in city
    Or if you're a very outdoors person

    I never get bored in the city

    People I know are everywhere and a million places to eat, and things to do, and shows to see, and etc

    Yesterday I had lunch with Vanguard, and then coffee with my friend and today after I gym I will lunch with Podly and then likely see some lady, and then maybe go to this dance party thing this weekend and etc, and see a movie at BAM on Monday

    I do not drink a lot anymore really
    (But I do like to drink)

    Hah, no. Cities are cultural hotspots for pretty much everything. You will not find a greater diversity of options for pretty much everything. And if that doesn't appeal to you, that's fine, but I can go to a different restaurant for literally every meal of the year and I won't have tried even half of them in they city. We have more, better venues to go see movies, shows, theater performances, museums, etc. And living in the city means all of this is at your fingertips.

    This is the place where bowen becomes SKFM, vanguard.

    He sees it as something he doesn't need, so he doesn't get why other people need it.

    See people say this, then they end up in their shitty 400 square foot apartment eating authentic ramen from a carton posting on reddit or pa forums. The people who do versus say they do (or can) is very small.

    Hey, The Triangle isn't half bad. It's actually majority good. Lots of culture, good restaurants springing up, very progressive place to live.

    Just don't drive east down 40 past I95 unless your windows are rolled up and you are going to the outer banks as fast as you legally can.

    In my defence, I am old, and in my case the answer to the question Hot or Not has never been in doubt.

    So hot.

    I considered buying in Bushwick about 5 years ago.....the part bordering ridgewood so not the initially gentrifying portion or bushwick, seems it's well on the way now though
    the place wasn't worth what they wanted though, probably is now.............

    dunno where you get that impression, that does not seem correct

    just because we post a lot doesn't mean we ain't doing all this shit

    cuz we totally are

    in fact

    we often do these things together, us forumers

    there is also that fact
    the density

    means we can hang out

    No I get it, I really do, but the people who say they can do all these things never actually do them.

    And then they own a car too, so basically they live in a super urban place just like they were living in suburbia or rural areas. I know a few people personally that do this. They move to a superurbia and sit in their apartment all day like they had been their whole life up here.
