In this 1973 film they weren't very optimistic about NYC in 2022. I was in NYC a couple months ago. As far as I could tell, nobody was eating humans. Not that I'd ever want to live in a megacity like that but, to visit - was just fine.  |

NY is a great, majestic, massive, vibrant city. Like any metropolis, it has problems, but it is AHELLUVALOT safer to live in NYC than a whole helluva lotta cities a tenth her size. A one hundredth her size. Give me NYC over LA, anytime. One of the world’s GREAT cities.

This is highly dependent on the burrow/neighborhood ofc. Also being rich helps solve those problems. Fun place to visit, great place to be wealthy and bad place to struggle. |

Every place is a bad place to struggle. Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island are middle-class havens. And the Bronx is getting better. You better be rich to live in Manhattan. But that has always been the case. |

There are affordable places to live in Manhattan. My brother-in-law lives by the foreign consulates with his fiancé, and it seems like he's not hurting for money. |

So, if he's not hurting for money, that means he's fairly well-off? ie, rich? www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/080916/top-10-most-expensive-cities-us.asp
"New York City leads the pack as the most expensive city in the United States. The city, with a population approaching 8.4 million, also tops lists of the world’s most expensive cities. The cost of living in Manhattan is a whopping 154% higher than the national average.
The median cost of homes in the five boroughs of New York is about $662,535, compared with a national median of $293,349.34 In Manhattan, home prices easily exceed $1 million.

I suppose that it is all in definitions. But I bet that he makes low six figures. He's not Manhattan rich. If you do Manhattan right, some things can cost you a lot less than other places. Transportation is cheap, because everything is so close. You have a lot of stores selling a lot of fresh products. And you have the time to make more stuff at home, because you are not spending as much time commuting. A lot of the cost of living numbers are based on you doing the same thing in each place. And you usually adapt to act differently in a Boston, a Chicago, a New York, or a DC (I have friends in all four) than you do in an Oregon or an Arizona. |
