doing anything there seems like a headache

you can't drive easily or park your car

it's violent and full of shady weirdos

it smells like piss, is dirty

everything is closed because of covid

it's the most expensive place to live in the US, so any increased income you make is eaten up by housing costs and other blue city taxes

why bother?

Let's take it point by point:

1) doing anything there seems like a headache

you can't drive easily or park your car

A: The convenience of NYC is unsurpassed by any other city. Everything you need is accessible and mostly 24 hours. You don't need a car. You get a zip car to go out of town if you want.

2) it's violent and full of shady weirdos

It's not really "violent", it has bad areas but overall remains very safe. Shady weirdos are everywhere else, too.

3) it smells like piss, is dirty

The smell thing is only in summer and to be fair, people didn't move here because it was clean. Clean is not enough.

4) everything is closed because of covid

And once it re-opens, people will storm back.

5) it's the most expensive place to live in the US, so any increased income you make is eaten up by housing costs and other blue city taxes

Your salary will likely be a lot higher here, but it is expensive, yes. It's a city for the rich and extremely poor, not so much the middle class, at least MFH.

why bother?

When it's good, there's nothing better.

so you're talking about a place the size of hoboken. that would make it inconsequential. especially when the question is "why would anyone LIVE in new york city". most people DONT live in the tiny part that is convenient.

if you live at like 53rd and Park, sure, it's probably great. but that's basically 1% living. for everyone else, it's shitbox nightmare.

Maybe if a banana, cigarettes and condoms is "everything you need" and its available down at the corner. But for most activities it just makes sense to have a car. Groceries? Enjoy lugging them home in the cold, rain, snow, extreme heat. Oversized items from a store? Enjoy struggling with a taxi/uber. Taking the kids somewhere? Enjoy rolling them on the sidewalk feet away from cars screaming by at 60 mph while homeless spit in your kids face.

NYC is (or at least was, pre-COVID) one of the handful of places smart young people moved after college because of jobs.

You might want to be there because that's where the good jobs are.

But you also want to be there because as a smart 20-something professional, you want to be around other smart 20-something professionals. Those are your friends and your dating pool. You're not going to find that in the suburbs. You're not going to find that in Oklahoma City.

Unless you're an elite fashion designer, opera singer, 1st chair symphony performer, or are in a Broadway show, you have no business in NY.

I'm not sure when it happened precisely, but it was when bank branches and Duane Reades started proliferating out of control on every block that the last bit of charm that made the city livable was gone

I guess it was also the first massive generation of trust fund kids coming of age that pushed the COL over the top there, too

Sex. It's because of sex. I don't know why you're not saying this. It all comes down to sex. Men have access to a lot of pussy in NYC. There are a lot of women. There are a lot of bars. There are jobs in NYC that put you at the top of the social hierarchy, as bullshit as it is, and that attracts women.

Women are there because there are successful men, or at least they believe they're around. An entire show, SATC, is more or less based around this idea.

Then eventually you leave or get a wife and leave, because at that point the sex isn't as important.

CR. Don't forget the ratio is like 52/48 women, and many of those women are attractive and fresh out of school, for their first real job as an adult, which they quickly realize is unsatisfying, driving them towards the available men (which per the beginning, are in hot local demand)

how is “different people may have different priorities” such a difficult concept for people to grasp?

xo poasters can't cope when people decide to live differently than them of their own volition, they take it as a personal affront and a refusal of their own preferred lifestyle.
