well i had a conversation with my parents a few days ago when they came back from there vacation. They said "were going to move . Move ? of the bat like that? where??? to Sacremento ??? , Sacremento ?? ....but why ?? " . I started to cuss about it and complain on a serious note as to why we have to start too move soo drastically , but i guess i would understand there concern . NY is an expensive place to live . And its also a very rigourous environment to even live in . But WHY though even at my years ??? is nyc long island really expensive to live in ?? ....and how is sacramento? i`ve never been there before.

California has expensive houses...I'd rather move to texas if anything. It's cheaper down there.

I never lived in Ny but i heard that NYc was really expensive..I don't know too much about cali

Awww.. it wont be that bad.
You should move to NC instead though.

But boring. Well, unless your 18. Then Austin can be FUNNNNNNN.

But yes. Texas is cool. Cheaper.



City life is hard. Maybe they're just looking out for you in the long run.

well i am thats why i dont want to move out of NYC

I believe NYC's sales tax is 30% D:

The cost of living in the San Francisco Bay Area is definitely higher than the rest of the nation; I know that the cost of living in New York is high too, but I don't know which is more expensive.

I've been to Sacramento a few times, and it's not a bad city. I didn't have much to do when I went, but that's probably because I was bogged down with a tight schedule. It's only about an hour away from San Francisco, which is really fun.


... Sorry if that wasn't helpful.

I lived in texas. It was pretty cheap there. Compared to viginia it is a hell of alot cheap

PA! MOVE TO PA!

think of it was an learning experience. it won't be too bad, it would make for a better memoir

I live in the city part of NY..and yes, it is expensive here.
and no..to the people above..30% is not the sale tax. lol.

^oh well I know it's a lot when I went shopping there... one shirt 40 dollars lol

I live in NYC also. AHHH don't move! We can meet in person! Hmm, I live in Elmhurst, Queens, the prices here are pretty expensive also. I heard that the houses in Staten Island are alot cheaper.

the things is right now i`d able to live in my own and my parents wouldn`t mind about that , but i wouldnt know if i would be able to manage myself . i still have alot of things to think about ? but how is it in Sacarmento ? anyone live around there?

I hear that you are more likely to have a heart attack if you live in New York than anywhere else, they say it has something to do with the chronic noise.

Why? Nick and Ariel live there. I mean, imagine having to live in the same city as both of them.

Or the smog.

aww snaps! you're moving near the bay! iono why sac town tho... it's alright up there i guess... not the BEST place. you should move somewhere near the coast...

then don't live in the city.
live in queens.
long island is expensive too so what's the point.

& there's not that much smog in new york. that's los angeles or san francisco or whatever.

& there's no tax on clothing anymore! :)

Smog is in L.A., thanks very much. ;) SF's good.

I'm moving up near Sac in just about two months.

i'd imagine it'd be hard to live in the city. but i like it. ^_^ i want to go back and live in shanghai.

Sacramento is boring & hot. I don't like it there. That's just me though.

No...not true.
But NYC is called "THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS."

Ahh..I love living in NYC..

Uh, Long Island is pretty expensive to live in; but so is the city I suppose.
The outer boroughs are cheaper, I believe.
I don't beleive the thing about the heart attack.
And, there is no tax on clothing or shoes under $110 (or something like that).

Also, nyc is an old city, many things like cables are really old...i think

Don't listen! NC sucks! haha

yea i do live in long island ...thats what i should have specifically said earlier . we moved 2 years ago from nassau county which i spent my whole life in , sold that 40` 18 suburban cape house for almost 500k . imagine that small of house ,i would guess because we live right in the border of new york city .since that 2 yrs we moved to a development in suffolk with that money invested . and since then i wouldnt be any more happier . our house is humongous now with a pool . only thing before then is we moved when it was my senior year which totally sucked ....and it was way way farther to the city like a 40 minute drive....no more 15 stops to take the subway of jamaica ....and NOW sacramento ??! .... were guessing the time we sell this house now we would have almost invest in 1 + mill .

because the streets
are too small.

Parts of NY are cheaper than others.
I live in Queens, where its okay. We bought our house at an original 300kish, but prices for houses in my area have doubled since then.

In Long Island, a million dollars will get you a huge house with seemingly unlimited space, possibly with a waterview.
In Manhattan, a million dollars will get you a condo with no space and a balcony overlooking a street.

And just for the record, NYC is honestly the greatest city in the world. It can be the scariest (if you're high and alone at night in the city), but it's usually just a blast.

Sac is super duper hot.I don`t think you`ll like it there.

I live in the city, my computer doesn't have a sound card, my parents are asleep, it's 12am, and I'm in complete silence. I don't know why people believe that the city is noisy, I certainly don't think so.


I think the no tax thing only lasts for a year or so
Is that true? If so, I'm really going to stock up...as if I'm already not

It is damn expensive to live here in the city. I don't drive but I know it must cost a lot for parking and gas. That's why my ex takes a subway to work instead of his car.

NYC is overly priced.

uhm
well think of it
new york has the highest cost of living

yea im starting to understand why people are scared of new york ....because of the hard work ethic it presents to the residents here ..its the atitude....i feel as though its a good thing though ,..it creates high standards for there citizens....but yea .....Sacramento ....i dont wanna move to another boreville if its = / .. and i guess thats why Madonna quoted on the song "New York is not for little pu*sies who scream".
