SO LEAVE. I left the metro area years ago. NYC was never good, it just goes into remission. The reason people are afraid to leave the familiar is they are cowards at heart. ALL of the USA is your birthright so go see some of it. I find it pathetic people cling to a place just because they grew up there so I didn't. Go seek your fortune! The rest of America can be amazing and contrary to internet fearmongering, quite affordable. NYC will never be affordable and you can't own a decent amount of land. Why are NY residents so pitifully clinging to a place they know they cannot afford to retire in? Cash out and escape. NYC crime has never and will never be fixed. NYC taxes will never be fixed and will get more expensive. What are they waiting for? It's only a city and there are plenty of those. I've been there.
