The meat and guts of this city are long gone. Its become a place for the super rich or young groups of 20 somethings living together in a small hovels paying way to much rent. Then of course are the rent controlled tenured new yorkers who pay way under the going rate for huge apartments and raise hell when they talk of any kind of increase to market value. We are over TAXED for everything. How about the $10 toll to drive over the Verrazano Narrows bridge. The BQE is a mess, the airports stink, cant take your kids to a Rangers game unless you want to shell out 200-300 bucks for the night. I can go on and on but I think I will just move to a better place. As a life long new yorker I find that the city has become nothing more then a tourist attraction.

Don't be fooled either..the people there are very friendly and helpful to strangers for the most part. I travel there several times a year and look forward to each visit.

I miss my family, however, the New York I grew up in does not exsist any longer. I realize many people living in the city today are scared about Wall Street, however, the real jobs and opportunities are in the middle and south of this great country of ours.
