would like to live in a place where you don't have a 50% chance of smelling weed when you walk outside |

Date: January 6th, 2025 8:25 AM Author: .,.,.;;,;.,..,:,,:,...,:::,...,:,.,.;.:...:.,:.::, the reality is you will be immensely disappointed wherever you go
most major american cities are no-go if you want walkable
boston is a nice "town" but is not easy to get around and is generally disappointing, especially for the price. if you want to raise kids in a nearby suburb that's not a bad option but it will still be expensive, and the city itself will not give you much to enjoy before then, especially if you are used to nyc.
you might consider a decent part of philly as similar to boston but less expensive and more navigable, also with a path to nice suburbs in the future. but it obviously has its issues.
the only other major city with walkability and public transportation infrastructure anywhere near nyc is chicago, which can actually be very nice if you pick the right neighborhood and very affordable for what it is, but again you need to have an exit plan for when you have kids.
but the reality of all these places - and you really need to take this into account - is that none of them are a refuge from the safety and "social environment" problems of nyc. they all have weed and vagrancy and criminality. and while nyc has more of everything, the scale and expensiveness overwhelm it if you mostly keep to mfh. mfh proper is far more functional and livable than most other american cities and for all its problems the nypd is far better equipped to deal with it than the backwater police departments of san francisco or whatever. the worst vagrancy gets squeezed into the boroughs.
if you think about these issues seriously instead of just congratulating yourself for being a little too "civilized" for nyc unlike all shitlibs by which you're surrounded, but you still insist on walkability and public transport, you will realize that this exercise is futile. stay in mfh and reconsider when you have kids.
i have no experience with seattle but it seems functionally equivalent to san francisco, which is to say extremely expensive for an extremely small and uninteresting city whose problems completely overwhelm local authorities, who have no will to confront them anyways. avoid. |

Date: January 6th, 2025 10:28 PM Author: .,.,.;;,;.,..,:,,:,...,:::,...,:,.,.;.:...:.,:.::, the rent that you'd save living in one of those other cities would not change your life (though your apartment would be nicer elsewhere) and you save some $$ not owning a car
unless you have a uniquely extravagant lifestyle, and assuming you're kind of average nyc biglawyers or equivalent, where nyc starts to really get expensive is if you have a kid (or a high maintenance dog i guess) |

Date: January 5th, 2025 9:46 PM Author: Brother Peter Dimond really depends, like always. lived in boston when i was younger and been thinking recently about how i’d maybe want to move back there if i didn’t have kids.
seattle is better if you’re raising kids or are about to unless you’re family/in-laws are on the other side of the country(and you’re not deliberately trying to keep space) |

Date: January 5th, 2025 10:43 PM Author: shitlib shibboleth Boston if you absolutely have to move. But if you are just fed up with NYC I would consider the burbs. Like, I'd rather live in Rye, Harrison, Greenwich, Darien, or Westport than Boston and the cost is pretty comparable if you're not going to live in some shithole.

Date: January 6th, 2025 8:31 AM Author: Die Hard 2: Die Harder It sounds like you need to have kids more than anything.
For guidance on hopping city to city with unlimited resources without kids please do a search for threads with "RSF" in the title. Or look for ones that read THE ST TROPEZ NYE JUGGERNAUT CONTINUES or something like that. |

Date: January 7th, 2025 10:30 AM Author: Ass Sunstein If you really want to leave NYC, just move to LA, give up on "walkability" and embrace driving, and enjoy the weather and a completely different type of city. Other than that, just stay in NYC, there's no point going to Boston or Seattle, just smaller, shittier cities with worse weather than NYC.
