Who can say no to the countless job opportunities available in the city? There are also many ways to get entertained, since the city has many restaurants, parks, museums, stadiums, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, life isn\u2019t easy in New York, despite being romanticized by popular TV shows like <em>Friends<\/em><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In winter, the conditions are bleak and sometimes unbearable. New Yorkers are unfriendly, and they won\u2019t hesitate to show it. Most people are busy, and it can be challenging to form committed relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s nice to have realistic expectations when moving to the city. In most cases, your chosen ways of life define your experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros_of_Living_in_New_York_City\"><\/span><strong>Pros of Living in New York&nbsp;City<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the benefits of living in New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reliable_Transport\"><\/span><strong>Reliable Transport<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u2018Big Apple\u2019&nbsp; has one of the most reliable transport systems.

However, you might need more if you have a car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New York has several airports. You can travel anywhere from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) or LaGuardia Airport (LGA), or locally using the other airfields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Job_Opportunities\"><\/span><strong>Job Opportunities<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to get a job, look no further than the land of opportunities, which is New York.

The following are the downsides of living here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Expensive_Accommodation\"><\/span><strong>Expensive Accommodation&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>New York is one of the costliest cities to live in worldwide. This is a major reason most people don\u2019t like living in this city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless you earn a high salary, you might be forced to live in a shared apartment or one of the city\u2019s suburbs. You\u2019ll have to incur transport costs daily if you work in the central business district with the latter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to live comfortably, your monthly earnings should be around $4,000. Anything lower means you\u2019ll have to live with a roommate. If you have a family, your partner should also have a job or higher salary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Weather_can_be_crazy\"><\/span><strong>Weather<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>can be crazy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wonder what\u2019s the weather like in New York City, NY? The city has four distinct seasons. Every spring you&#8217;ll see flowers growing in area parks, and come summer people living in New York City enjoy the sun. Summers can also get hot and humid. Autumn brings with it cooler temperatures and the theater season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But like an adolescent, New York\u2019s weather is inconsistent and unpredictable. It takes a few hours to turn from calm and clear to frigid and windy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winters can mean several inches of snow when the occasional Nor&#8217;easter passes through and dumping snow and bringing the region to a standstill. If you plan to make a Christmas trip to NYC, it\u2019s vital to be prepared and pack heavy winter clothing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Noisiness_and_Traffic_Congestion\"><\/span><strong>Noisiness and Traffic Congestion&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s always noisy traffic in New York. You can get stuck in a traffic snarl-up for hours when driving your car. If you choose to cycle, you risk being hit by unruly drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The subway sounds like a great alternative, but it gets crowded at times. Even worse, the trains can delay or re-route to allow railway maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It isn\u2019t easy to get a sound sleep if you live close to the lower levels of Broadway. The nose can be unbearable when sirens pass or garbage trucks come to collect waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unfriendly_People\"><\/span><strong>Unfriendly People<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nobody cares about you in New York, except for your family and friends. Due to its diversity, this is understandable. New York is the least friendly state in the entire country, according to an annual ranking from a global travel website released Monday<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New York is the <strong>least friendly state in the entire country<\/strong>, according to an annual ranking by a global <a href=\"https:\/\/bigseventravel.com\/the-50-friendliest-states-in-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">travel website<\/a>. You can\u2019t expect a person from the other side of the world to treat you nicely when all they are after is bettering themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dirt_and_Unpleasant_Smell\"><\/span><strong>Dirt and Unpleasant Smell<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>New York\u2019s streets have a lot of smelly garbage. In summer, the smell gets rancid because of the heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, the subway has thousands of rats that you can see running on the railway tracks. It\u2019s wise to carry a hand sanitizer when you visit the city. You can clean your hand conveniently when a bathroom is inaccessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"36101\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/north-america\/united-states\/new-york\/pros-and-cons-living-in-new-york-city\/attachment\/living-in-manhattan-pb\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/living-in-manhattan-pb.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"853,1280\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"living-in-manhattan-pb\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/living-in-manhattan-pb-682x1024.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/living-in-manhattan-pb-682x1024.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/living-in-manhattan-pb-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36101\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/living-in-manhattan-pb-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/living-in-manhattan-pb-640x960.jpg 640w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/living-in-manhattan-pb-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/living-in-manhattan-pb-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/living-in-manhattan-pb.jpg 853w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrapping_Up\"><\/span><strong>Wrapping Up<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a visitor or a resident, New York is a great city.
