Representin' Queens, biotch.
I can't imagine living outside of NYC Metro, either. Of course, I've never left the area for more than two weeks ever.
Honestly one of the main reasons I could never leave is because I can't live somewhere without great pizza and bagels, respectively. Packaged pizza bagels don't count for either of those.
Are you serious, Luke? Clearly, it's all a matter of priorities.
(Read "Clearly" above to yourself in a Bill Walton voice.)
As a young single guy I would've liked to live in Manhattan...
... but I can't imagine raising a family in the city.
My pending move to South Jersey shows that I'm even getting tired of the city-like elements of Central Jersey.
If it was at all practical, I could easily see myself moving to Sedona, Arizona or someplace similar where there are not convenient bagels and pizza and cool bars with hot women open until 4 A.M., but at the same time every morning when you wake up it's gorgeous, peaceful, non-rush hour and you would see some of the same faces everyday.
Now, granted, non-urban areas do have traffic, and yes, whatever neighboorhood you inhabit within NYC Metro does have some familiar faces everyday, and I understand that your little neighboorhood or area within NYC can seem like your little hometown, but still.
If you live in a scenic more quiet area, when/if you get bored and need excitement you take a trip to NYC, Las Vegas, etc...
Most of the time of our weeks is spent hanging out with friends, working, watching TV, and sleeping anyway.
As a final thought, my blog post doesn't really relate to this comment, but I need to promote readership of my blog whenever possible.

I think suburbia fits me quite nicely. Living in Manhattan certainly has it's advantages (e.g. public transportation, 24 hour delivery service, etc...) but there are disadvantages as well. As much a pain as it is, I love fixing up and maintaining my house. Mowing the lawn sucks, but it's such a good feeling seeing it all nice and neat when it's finished. Same with any project I have in/on the house. I wouldn't be able to experience those things living in Manhattan - especially since the cost of an actual house/brownstone in Manhattan is uber expensive.
