If you are worrying about taxes while making seven figures, your just an ... If you do not want to pay those higher taxes, I promise you, I will find someone who will do it.

[@megacolinmiller]

Highly Recommend Tampa Bay,FL if you want the same vibe as LA. If you want more Humble community, I would highly recommend DFW, TX over Austin TX. I’m from Texas and me and my wife have the same plan. We go up to Michigan for summer and Fall, than we come back to DFW for winter and spring. - I hope the best for you in near Future

[@ChrisX236]

I can relate back to when your life had no vision, unfortunately for me I'm still having that problem. Hearing your story about growing and saying yes to everything really inspired me to make some changes in my life. Thanks for the update Alex!

Translation....the crime, cost of living, homelessness, degradation of quality of living, and overall direction the city is headed. I live here too, sorry to see you go. Don't blame you at all. You do realize that NYC isn't a whole lot better.

[@LastEarBender]

Miami would have been the better move

[@Rustyhound-Cartoons]

Well it seems like he's not comitting to living there completely yet since he's also going to be in florida during winter season. Florida seems like the best tbh. But I've never been to texas so I can't say for sure

[@alexcosta]

Of course, it’s an issue w/ most major cities and I’m not ready to move to a small town. Splitting time between NYC and Miami so I get the best of both worlds 🙏

[@JohnSkyLey]

Agreed. Crime in both LA and NYC are really bad

I remember obsessing so much over your content since so many years,seeing you stepping into a different chapter of your life feels like it's happening to me.

[@jorgefleitao]

Sounds like you're making the right decision, I'm happy for you Alex. I'm from London, and New York seems to have some similar aspects so I'm sure you will love it!

I'm at an inflection point in my life where I'm figuring out what I want to be doing. And this video speaks to me on so many levels. Thanks Alex!

[@ilias_lag_]

Loved that we got to hear more about your life and thoughts outside of the classic videos( that I love as well).I think it would be really interesting to see also some more videos kinda like vlogs in New York City or elsewhere.I hope you have a great time in the Big Apple man ,cheers!

[@amgolfer3591]

More like the rotten apple. It’s not the same NY my friend. It’s the wild East. Sad.

[@ilias_lag_]

@@amgolfer3591 very sad to hear my friend. I went to NY I think 6 years ago, maybe the best trip of my life, hope things get better!

[@amgolfer3591]

@@ilias_lag_ one can only hope, but they need something different there that is for sure. I have friends there (trying to get out) that don't feel safe.....I just hope Alex isn't following or trying to mimic Jose's journey.....he mentioned he isn't ready to be in small city, well, one has a lot of other options besides NYC. I use to love the Big Apple, but I will not be taking my family there anytime soon....cheers my friend.

You're the only influencer I watch Alex and I've been watching you since I was a teenager myself. All the best for you man, I wish you every success.

Man, i have been here since 2012, it's amazing what you have conquered since them, you inspired me a lot and i hope that this new phase in your life will be amazing.

[@iteachrevit7962]

Congrats on your move Alex. I totally agree with this video. Sometimes in life you get stagnet and therefore need a change in life to inspire new ideas. Best of luck.

[@mattdomonkos]

Been watching your content since 2015. You’re truly inspiring and I’m happy for your success. Good luck in New York!

[@laundalesmith2244]

So happy to see what’s next for you. Been following your content for the last 3 years and it has definitely been very impactful

I remember all of your videos back on the KZbin office vlog, Atlanta travel vlog, quitting KZbin, to the man you are right now. Congrats on everything Alex, best of luck for your next journey. Been here for quite a while, and will stay here for as long as possible. 🤜💪

[@albana26]

I have been following your content since I was still in high school, and now I already graduated from college and now studying my master degree, it’s been an amazing 5 years, I grow with your content you’re like the father that I never have, so glad to found you back then, and I’m so so grateful by the amount of knowledge you’ve shared with this community, looking forward for everything that you’ll give to this community in the future! I’m from Indonesia and that’s how far you have influenced people Alex.

Youre a pure legend, like you said an OG! This video came at a special moment in my life cause im experiencing almost the same and it helped a lot, sure it did. And as your content always do. Really a fan of yours, 'bout at least 5 years. Wish you all the good stuff like always!!!!

[@dominickgiannotti]

I'm super glad you addressed some of the issues many people tend to brush under the rug constantly like the homelessness and lack of safety aswell. Not to mention the cost of living being absolutely ludicrous. I wanted to move to LA after high-school to pursue music and I'm so glad I didn't.

[@bobbyjones8335]

Best of luck moving forward, excited for your new apartment tour! I'm glad I ran into you that one time in dtla

[@LocoForChoco123]

Been here since the google days. Happy to see you doing what you want to do with your life man, best of luck

[@roxtar38]

I understand getting that Groundhog Day feeling. It can happen anywhere with any career. Pre-pandemic, I worked downtown. I went places. I did things. When we began working from home (which has now become permanently remote), I leave my house for random errands and such, but spend a TON more time at home. I'm sort of stuck here for a few more years. Enjoy the change.

Everyone have new chapters in their lives, and just like me I'm gonna be moving to Dallas in the next 2 or 3 years for Trucking, and later Los Angeles working with my uncle in the Acting business since he already established in the business for over 10 years. I will eventually get a place NY, but Miami(South Beach, Aventura, biscayne will always have my heart for thr culture tho) I'm done with this place I need to leave the negative south Florida energy behind and start moving into areas that have many activities that I will eventually adore and meet people that have a open positive mindset.

Can't wait to see what your life is gonna be like in NYC. Change is good no matter how bittersweet it may be. I moved around a lot; from my hometown in western France, to Dallas, then Tulsa, then Long Beach and finally Paris back in 2014. It was meant to be only for a year but I fell in love with the city. But after 7 years, like you, I had done it all, I was getting too comfortable and it had become a bit haunted too. I've just moved to Montreal and as heartbroken as I was to leave the most beautiful city in the world, it's also an opportunity to get away from the distractions, gather my thoughts, figure out a few things and focus 100% onto my goals. And I should say thanks too because I probably wouldn't have done it if it weren't for all your motivational talk.

[@alexcosta]

Moving can be great for growth! Happy to hear you’re doing well now! 🙏

I'm stoked that we will be able to see new content but also be sad that the OG LA alex will move along and leave to another state. bro you have made yourself into a fire content creator while living in LA but it's always time for those who want a chance to be somewhere else and have a different environment then the same.
