This.
As much as those places are appealing the mansions, I just couldn't live in Raleigh NC\
Cause I know how the rest of America is compared to New York
It's undoable for me at this point.
Last time I was in Pittsburgh (yes...Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania) visiting family, after 3 days I just wanted to leave
Cacs everywhere
No diversity
Really segregated
Really backkwards
really racist
really unwelcome
Confederate flags everywhere
Nothing to do except drive around and get drunk or look around at malls or eat or smoke and drink
All the women around my age are married with kids...or they moved to cities like NYC and LA and Philly and there is slim pickings
When I got back to
NYC it made me appreciate it more for all of its pitfalls and cons.
The diversity
the more accepting attitude
The plethora of things to do
THe tons of people in my age group older and younger
And people here are friendly, I never got the New Yorkers are rude trope....I've experienced more friendliness and people going out of their way to help a breh out or just be sociable here than anywhere else. Cause people appreciate each other here despite the BS .
So even though the cost of living is cheaper there...are you even living?
