I live on the shore in CT on the Long Island Sound. New York used to be one of my most favorite places to go, alone, on a whim, as it's a short train ride. I've been to SO many shows there, rock concerts, small clubs, shopping, hanging in Hell's Kitchen, Chelsea pier, anyfreakingwhere I wanted! My SO, along with both of my children, have forbidden me to go alone to the city anymore.

Add in the exhorbitant cost of living and you know why my SO (a born and bred NYC guy) and I left Brooklyn 2 years ago this month and never looked back. In less than a year his condo went from a value of $375,000 to $225,000 because of the dem hell hole NYC is. Add in the cockroaches and filth and taxes it just isn't worth living there any longer.
