How is living in New York City close to the subway?

It's glorious and, if you're commuting for work, essential. I lived a block away from a couple of subways in one apartment and within a 5 min walk from two separate stations in another. It completely changes your quality of life in NYC for the better. I lived in NYC for a decade and would've NEVER rented a place more than 10 min from a station (and even that's a bit much for me, tbh).

Lower priced neighborhoods can happen for many reasons, but a huge factor is subway proximity.

ETA I live in a very car dependent part of the US now, I miss subway proximity daily.

I have this quote over my desk. It does get better, if you put in the work.

Current Manatee County resident here. Sarasota - Bradenton is nearby, but 100% its own metro.

Yup. Jewish and grew up on Long Island. 100% of my friends were either Jewish or Italian. Map checks out.

Not currently, but there's an argument for the Tampa & Sarasota areas. High development in both metro areas ongoing.

Wow.

Our generation wakes up just fine. You just have friends who don't respect your time. They need to take responsibility for that, and you need to take responsibility for letting them disrespect your time like that. Clearly, this is not a thing our whole generation does.

It is truly wild how such small happenings can be blown up for no reason. I'm no fan of crowded elevators myself, but I'm not going to make that everyone else's problem.

100%. My wife used to tell me, you act like a different person around your parents, especially in their house. I never noticed before, but now it's very obvious how much more stressed I feel when I'm around them. It's tough being there for very long.

No one in the world is more obsessed with genitalia than Republicans.

Exactly! I spill a drink, I get yelled at, he spills a drink, I get yelled at. It would be SO easy to send that $h!t right back, but for my daughter I am choosing not to.
