No one opens the door for a native New Yorker

Renting regulations are different in every major city, but New York City's rent is notoriously flawed. It might not currently be the most expensive U.S. city to live in, but it's definitely the worst bang for your buck. If you can afford $2,400 a month and not lose your mind in a one bedroom with a closet sized bathroom, no closets, and a faulty heating system, then more power to ya!

New York parking is no joke. It's a battle at the best of times. If driving stresses you out, don't ever drive in New York City !

We'd be remiss not to include Bernie Sanders. While it may not win the award for most diverse borough, it certainly comes…

“If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.” There's definitely some truth to this lyric about New York City . Frank Sinatra wasn't wrong. But…do you really want to? As a native New Yorker, I often find myself asking if it's worth it. The rent keeps going up and my apartment isn't getting any bigger or nicer. There are tons of people gentrifying every neighborhood that has any personality, pushing out its residents that have lived there for years. The commute is both frustrating (the MT…
