I'm planning to leave NYC. Jersey or Philly?

[CashmereThoughts]

Every region got like only 3 or 4 awesome cities.

Remove NY and Boston and what is the East coast

You can keep Boston too. Coast really don't matter to me I live in NYC.

D.C. Is a great city as well

 

[Man On Fire]

Only been back here a week and already know I'm not trying to stay out here too long. I want this next move to be my last. Little background about me, from BK, lived in Florida for a 3 years. Back in BK for now til I get my money up. Not trying to move to the south again. I don't hate the south, just never felt like home. People from the east are more up to my speed. Anyways , I'm leaning more towards Philly... But I'd like to know what life is like from both places from a Coli brehs perspective...

Leave Brooklyn for Philly

Philly hands down. It's super convenient, affordable, lots to do, etc

Why are you leaving NYC?

To me depends if you want to be in Jersey to get away from the noise, but still be near NY. Or if you want to explore and entirely different city in Philly

You sure those are your only options though

Let em go. We got more than enough people here.

In fact 3-4 million less people would be optimal

Within city limits Philly going through a renaissance breh skyscrapers condos houses galore shyt all I see is New Yorker tags and Maryland folks. Breh it's the cheapest big city in the northeast with a small feel of NYC. The hate online is crazy and you can tell people never really been here

Same thing going on in North Jersey. Anywhere within a 30 min ride to NYC is being targeted for development

Cosign. With 3 million less people, removing all the hipsters, and others, NYC would be the PERFECT place to live. I would never leave

 

[AB Ziggy]

I would recommend neither. Philly still a shady city despite its recent development and Jersey is too expensive(and many people are also leaving the state for the South just like NY) to justify what it offers.

I would personally recommend the DMV.

I'm still weighing my options. I'm in D.C. now. Maybe a month or two back, I was riding the subway and I take bus from the subway to the crib. Where I live is safe. But the subway is kinda in the hood. Didn't realize that day was a holiday so the bus wasn't running. It was 12am and I had to walk home through the hood If that was Chicago and I was walking through the south side at midnight I might've been a vic

Yep.. I couldnt imagine walking through Chicago at that time of night. Breh i walk thru every hood in BK like it's nothing. nikka you better get your ass back to BK

I'd would choose Jersey if it's closer to NYC and I was making a permanent home. U always going to miss home. Philly is a bit further, and I lived there for two years, and traveled back to NYC all the time on weekend. It's just not NYC. To live in Philly permanently I'd never do. Great city though.

 

[Hope]

Mainly the noise, how close everyone and everything is to each other, the traffic, pollution, crime, overpopulation, gloomy weather... etc. I been in Brooklyn for 24 years of my life, with the other 3 in Florida. Florida was like a breath of fresh air. Truthfully, the south is real dope, depending on where you live though. There's so much more sunshine, freedom, quietness, land, and real estate down there. With all that said it's still "the south" you know, and I don't necessarily feel a sense of belonging there. The people are kinda slow, there's more racism and crookedness, and they're way too traditional down there. These were the only options on the East Coast city wise (though Boston is a thought). West Coast, outside of Cali (which will have a BIG earthquake really soon) is mostly white ppl (Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, Vegas) and I'm not trying to stick out like a sore thumb. If I were to go back South, I've got Dallas and Houston in mind. But I've heard good things about Philly. Jersey has a lot more driving jobs tho (I'm a CDL driver) and yeah, it's closer to Manhattan which is cool.

You seem uncertain and it's not guarantee your next mvoe is your last. Just stay in NYC.

What are you running from?
