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.

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). |

And, there is no tax on clothing or shoes under $110 (or something like that). 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 .

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. |

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. |
