My only remaining hesitation is leaving a typical office environment, and working from home in NYC. Obviously a huge adjustment.


Um, Subway???

Where in the Billy did you live And rents in certain parts of BK are approaching those of rents in decent nabes in Manhattan. Made the decision crazy easy when me and my girl were ready to leave Crown Heights

So many places are like that. And the crazier part is, people are leaving Manhattan to go to these places. It's funny

what does decent neighborhood mean? if you don't mind boring neighborhood (mid town east, upper east side), then 2500 can get you decent 1 bedroom. Sometimes it's luck, I have friend getting a very good studio for under 2K like 3 blocks from columbus circle.
