meh, a firm in NY city flew me out there 2 weeks ago (i know, not the best place to make my generalization about). They offered me 120k and it still wasnt enough to live there. Decently clean 900 sq/ft 1 bedroom for 2 grand a month. NO THANK YOU.

Im still looking around though....just seems like all the jobs id enjoy are in CA, NY and FL. And im not living in any of those 3 states.

If you work in NYC, you're supposed to live in New Jersey or CT to make money. And even that, anywhere 45 miles or closer to NYC is $2000 / 900 sqft.

The reason my place is so expensive is because of my proximity to NYC. And I'm like 65 miles.

In TX terms, that's not a lot, but that's through 40 or more little towns, and it's a completely different unit of measurement. It's why New Englanders describe measures of length in units of time. It's weird, but it works.

I do that here, and people look at me weird. My friends have gotten used to it, but everyone else always reiterates the question--"How many miles?"

Steve, when is your birthday thing? I must have missed it in another post...

Celerity

No, I didn't post up. Just IMed a few folks. This upcoming sunday.

Believe me dude, you won't miss a barbeque at Chez Cel. Every weekend.

IMO, if you're not making 200k, you aren't going to live in the city and be middle class.
you'll be on the outskirts.... hoboken, astoria, etc etc at 100k and be comfy.


the worst part about the city.... is that you'll never drive again.

parking costs like 80 bucks a day.... so you need to make 300k to live comfy AND have a car. i'ts' stupid.

E_SolSi

ive always done it that way
"how far away is _______ ?"
"about 35-40 minutes depending on traffic"


i mean something 15 miles away in one direction might take 20 minutes to get to... 15 miles in the other direction could take 45 minutes... so the time distance is actually more useful information

in texas we tell you miles...if its between 7a and 9a and 4p and 6p and we are directing you to 30, 35, 635 or 75....add 30 minutes to the mileage.

Don't worry, I might be moving up near you soon.

That's weird- I always hear people say that Texans tell distance in time and that the rest of the country tells distance in miles. I just throw both out there, especially because my own travel times usually make people go
