What's the draw of living in NYC? That's a fairly hard thing to answer. Incredible opportunity; innumerous sources of artistic and creative inspiration; the center of fashion, art, and business in this hemisphere; family, friends, and loved ones?
People (including myself) don't live in New York for the crime. But also a lot of people can't get out of the city even if they wanted to.
