it's more walkable, the public transit is better, taxes are much lower, wages are higher, and the spread between salaries and the cost of a house is smaller

what other definitions of "livable" would you want

i think some of your stats might be a little off there

just to be clear: taxes are higher in new york. median household income is lower in the new york city metropolitan area, and home prices are higher. but there is a subway in new york, so not every single thing was wrong.

wages for computer touchers are higher. home prices are indeed higher but not as ridiculous as a multiple of income

lastly: nyc has two subways and three commuter rail systems AND probably the best bus system in America. transit: we have it

the practically nonexistent property tax kinda makes up for it

all property taxes are low, but taxes on 1-4 family homes are near zero

Vs the NYC 8.875% sales tax my spending last year equated to an extra $716 in taxes, so I think it still comes out ahead of paying $6k in income tax

e: also double lol at not getting to deduct that poo poo thanks to Trump. Suck it income tax state failures

that only works if you bought your home 20+ years ago before housing prices went insane or inherited it from a parent or grandparent who did

NYC is a loving cool place. Seattle is at least okay. It could be pretty hard to live in either unless you have a lot of money. Finito.

every idiot visits midtown manhattan and imagines that is what nyc is like. and it's not. midtown manhattan is a miserable hellscape where we go to work, just like the lovely office park where you go to work

the residential areas of nyc look like sesame street. (because sesame street is set in nyc)

C++ hasn't been so bad since 11. My old work place mandated 03 because the openvms compiler didn't support any higher, getting to use 11+ in my current workplace was like night and day.
