Moving to NYC - where to live?

In NYC, you'll be every bit the pauper as the average maid. If it makes you feel any better, you'll probably be working harder to achieve that status.

 

There is no down playing of anything. Maids on average make less than me. That's a verifiable fact. There will always be a maid who makes more than me. There will always be a ___ who makes more than me. But so what? Is the liberty to feel offended on behalf of someone else a constitutional right? If so you've fully exercised it.

If you want to add any value to the world, educate me - if you had to make a comparison of more and less, what would you say without having to "downplay" the less?

 

I've added quite a bit of value to this world over the course of my lifetime and would have few regrets if I were to die five minutes from now. That's not what is being discussed here.

As for educating you, I've brought up a point which I believe to be valid but went right above your head for whatever reason. So in that respect I've failed miserably.

There was no need for making a statement of that nature to begin with, IMO. Stating that you could afford $2500 with some wiggle room for monthly rent would've been enough for the purposes of this thread.

My crystal ball says that you're in for both a major attitude adjustment and a rude awakening once you actually start living in NYC, but it's been wrong before and will most certainly be wrong again.

But, as I've stated before: this is your thread. And on that note I'm out of it.

 

*OP asks a fairly simple question*
*gets various posts about random crap, everything except the answer he was looking for*

THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!!!111111!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!11111111111!!!!!!!

OP, your best bet to get an answer is to write 2.0 a PM or wait until he blesses us with a visit.

 

I guess if nothing else, the moral of the story is -if you're going to ask and expect, ask nicely.

 

Man.. I'm getting pretty good at killing threads.

 

Oh c'mon, judging by how NBR is lately I would say you are capable of more .

 

Good riddance, good bye maid!

Who's 2.0? I got some helpful info from the first responder via PM. I know this is OT and didn't expect it to stay on track that much. Oh well, at least I got something out of it.

 

He's a person living in NYC who might be able to help you with your question.

 

You could always go underground. They've got quite a system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_water_supply_system
