I'm a native NYer, so are my parents, but my grandparents were all born in SC & GA, and migrated to Harlem and the Bronx before my parents were born. Eight years ago I moved to New Orleans, bc it reminds of NYC. There's so much to do & though I have a car, I really don't need one bc I can walk a lot of places, like back home. And I love the long summers. I love NY, and I'll always rep the BX, but I don't care to ever see snow again.

[@MzLena2You]

I’ve considered PA and VA. I can understand a lot of New Yorkers moving to Jersey since it’s right there. I’m semi-surprised that Connecticut isn’t on the list, but as a Connecticut native, I also get it. It’s extremely expensive here and I’m tired of it. The winter doesn’t bother me just the cost of housing. As a single with no dependents, it is still hard! But because we have higher salaries, it’s best to secure a remote job while living in NY or CT, and take that salary with you where it’s cheaper to live. I’m working on that now.
