I have spent the summer in NYC with my sister & her family. At first I was like "Eww" but now I'm warming up to the idea of moving here.
The Pros: My depression gets so much better when I'm around family. It's a "fresh start" after a really hard year. I can help my sister out with her baby. It's a lot of stress and I want to support her as much as I can.
It will also get me closer to fulfilling my lifelong dream of being a fancy old lady
The cons are that it's a very expensive lifestyle. I will just barely be able to live comfortably in Manhattan. Lots of places do not accept dogs for some reason (?) Lots of Libs (so same as Chicago) and apparently men punch women on the subways.
Should FroCho bite the bullet and move:

Isn't NYC dangerous? Like even more so than usual these days?

I mean, I live in Chicago….
Omg my last territory included the South Side of Chicago. (Believe it or not that are some cute and safe parts, like around 90th St? So almost in Indiana) There was one hospital that was surrounded by boarded up houses and homeless people. It was so scary that I would just drive there, sit in my car and mark that I went in (I was unsure if they were using GPS to track us). Those would've been Medicaid patients and IL Medicaid didn't usually cover it so it was whatever.

You're definitely safer sitting in your car than going in a hospital !foidmoment

Oh for my job I would visit hospitals and doctors offices on behalf of a drug company and basically just charm and chat up the nurses. We had a territory and a few dozen sites to visit. We had to go to 4 sites a day but the only proof was people marking down that they went in an app. I always wondered if they tracked us via GPS because otherwise you could fake 90% of your visits.

That makes sense. I thought you meant you had an ankle monitor or something

I thought NYC was even worse these days due to a huge influx of migrants and the cops being absolutely useless, but if they're both dangerous I guess I would pick being closer to family.

When did NYC didn't have a huge influx of immigrants? 200 years ago?

It's not really dangerous unless you are in a really shitty area, the majority of the city is fine. Most major cities are like that though
