NYC Transplants: Is This Everything You Thought it Would Be?
Many people move to New York with hopes of Broadway stardom, financial success, and other lofty goals. Listeners, if you’ve moved to New York in the past 15 years, how did things work out for you?Â
@BrianLehrer I moved from San Francisco. New York just feels right. It's a city that pushes you or pushes you out.

@BrianLehrer Moved in 2005. Grew up on a farm in PA and raising two little New Yorkers. When they talk like natives, I just laugh.

NYC became a city with diminishing returns: $$ cost of living, traffic, parking. Moved to NJ @BrianLehrer https://t.co/zMxr7sayWx

@BrianLehrer I moved here from Miami in 2006 for culture, arts and for the electricity of the city. I will never go back. I'm a NYer now.

@WNYC @BrianLehrer man, this final caller is hitting the major points. Moving to PA soon & feel like a failure too. Hope to epically return
