why owuld someone want to live in NYC

why owuld someone want to live in NYC
believe it or not, jobs pay significantly higher in huge cities like nyc, even when taking into account the cost of living

why owuld someone want to live in NYC
Because you can actually find a job? You get paid way more than other places?

It's a huge source of our economy in the USA which means literally anything you do in NYC will make you more money then anywhere else.  That basically means once you're sick of it and move away you're going to have insane savings compared to someone working in New Hampshire or some stuff.

If you buy a house in NYC it might cost more to start with but in the long run it will accrue more value than other places in the same amount of time I'm pretty sure too. If you can outright buy the house and you rent it rent is also higher so you'll make way more money.

Then you can sell the house move to someplace else and buy 3 houses.

edit:

To expand on this, if you can work and live in any place with a red marker you can afford anywhere there is a green marker.
If you live on a green marker... ur fukked

NYC costs more to live in the long run too. Ofc you make more. Balances out I think, but if it’s no better or worse and you don’t like the city, there’s no point in living there.
Getting nyc wages and traveling though, that is another story.

i hear this lie repeated so often its not even loving funny (EDIT: just to clarify, it does not balance out, you make significantly more money in nyc)

nyc is literally the only place in the world you can make 100k-400k per year (this is base salary not stocks and stuff) on graduation in engineering, and its nowhere as expensive as people make it out to seem.

the only people that use this talking point are unironic boomers or people who want to post-hoc rationalize never moving more than 10km away from where they where born.
