Message:: [QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 8011399, member: 101855"]When I was in my teens and twenties, I dreamed of landing a big, high paying job that would allow me to afford to live in the city. The closet I got was as an intern at AT&T after I got my MBA. I dated a New York model for a while whose father was a bank executive who was listed in “Whose Who in Financial America.” Then AT&T hired me to go to Boston, which was actually a better city, and her parents helped put an end to the relationship. I had lived in northern New Jersey for several years before that. I got to enjoy the theater and go into the city frequently. Looking back on it, it was the best of both worlds. Today taxes and crime are way up from when I was there. My niece and her family paid $2 million for a co-op which is the size of my living room. Unless you are much wealthier than I am now, it’s not easy to make it there. With city in an overall decline, I would say “pass.”[/QUOTE]
