Give me a few good reasons why I shouldn't move to NYC...

[TomInTib]

The Upper West Side, to be more exact.

Right there on Riverside Drive, overlooking Riverside Park and the Hudson. Right across the street from the Children's Museum (now a private residence).

I am moving from the SFBay area (Tiburon) and going for broke.

And I have always wanted to live in the City.

[Fredda Weinberg]

1. Welcome to the Big Apple! n/t

[Sanity Claws]

2. None

Welcome. I live just off Riverside Drive in the UWS.
Good luck in finding an apartment!

[TomInTib]

3. I alreay have one (apartment, that is)

With a parking space to boot.

Looks right out on the river.

[Sanity Claws]

4. Oh my, my.

You must be an heir to a fortune. Good luck!

[TomInTib]

5. No, but I know this dancer, you see...

But I am a lucky guy.

[aquart]

13. Ah. Your dancer is the heir to a fortune. That helps so much.

Or runs the ballet company, say, ABT.

[Infomaniac]

6. Welcome to NYC!

Look forward to seeting you at our local meetups.

I think the cost of living is comparable. Be sure to check out the car insurance rates though. Those can be a tad high. Do you have a job lined up?

[TomInTib]

9. I look forward to same.

I had lunch with fellow DUer Stephanie last week and she was bemoaning the lack of regular meet-ups.

Maybe we can shake that up.

I hope to be there within the month.

And I do not have a job lined up, I am acting on blind faith.

[Smarmie Doofus]

7. No place to send your kids to school. ( It it applies.) nt

[SlavesandBulldozers]

8. ill give you one

we dont have nearly enough meet=ups.

maybe you can help change that.

aside from that. nope. Just about wrapping up my first year here. I live in Brooklyn.

Love it here. wont ever leave.

[TomInTib]

10. Maybe we can do something about that.

I hope to be there within the month.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

11. awesome!

you'll love it. there's a great DU crew here too.

[Fancifulactor]

17. What kind of meetups

?

[Fredda Weinberg]

18. Last time was at ThomCat's house ... once in Central Park ... n/t

[aquart]

12. Aside from the increase in ocean height due to global warming?

And the sad need for a rich aunt to die to afford it, no reason not to at all.

[Fredda Weinberg]

14. Unless you live in Seagate, honest ... we don't care in the rest of

Brooklyn. The island is mostly on a ridge, you see ... built in higher ground. And if we ever wanna make more land, we'll reclaim like the good dutch colony we were - with our durable trash.

Tom will fit right in. Les Paul is still giving his concerts ... saw him profiled on NY1 just this week. We'll adapt - it's worth it.

[Martino Navratilovo]

15. Crime is not an issue anymore

NYC is the safest big city in the USA.

[Fredda Weinberg]

16. It's disconcerting to hear about a murder every night ... normal for us n/t
