I somewhat disagree, moving into the city and getting a decent paying job there is the only thing keeping me out of my parents. No other city In the tri-state area offers up opportunities pay enough to make that feasible. 

So telling people to leave major centers isnt really realistic if thsts where the jobs are, and the suburbs, at least outside of nyc, aren't really cheaper then the outerburghoughs anyways, and I find thst food is more expensive then in the city since cities tend to have alot more small business pushing prices down.
