There are quite a few negatives we could list about living in New York City, but we’ll start with the obvious few: firstly, the cost of living is astronomical - and by that we mean be prepared to shell out more than $2,000 a month to rent a shoebox-sized apartment, annoying neighbors who never turn their subwoofer off, and a never-ending cockroach infestation (seriously, where are they all coming from??). Secondly, it’s crowded everywhere you go so good luck finding any alone time outside of the bathroom. Thirdly, there are piles upon piles of garbage everywhere and everything smells bad. We could keep going all day!
