I'd have to say once you move out there's no going back. The only circumstance for me to ever live with them again is if they couldn't take care of themselves any longer and somehow me taking care of them becomes the best option.

That's good. What finally got me to move out was the girlfriend. Actually she had her own place and I kinda just crashed over her place one night and that was the end of living at home. I guess I was lucky to find someone who didn't think I was a momma's boy by living at home . But all women become pleasantly surprised once they find out a guy has $$$ saved up in the bank.

A man shouldn't really be with a women who will make him broke which is why I left my last girlfriend. She's from the hood and had that blow money fast stereotypical lifestyle. It was a hell on earth relationship and I have never looked back lol. At least the girls I meet in manhattan are very independent and have some type of pride in themselves lol.

Repped. These articles present a very twisted vision of NYC and other major cities.

That kind of woman is just a lame prostitute and the guy himself is a sucker for letting himself get played like that. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, and certainly not to someone who is basically street trash.

Don't see how that could be true. NYC has a stagnant economy and is brutally competitive. Truthfully this is place most millenials dreams die.

Millennials is a daft name. Sounds like people born in the few years around 2000 - who'd be 12-16 at the moment.

So where do you think the urban-raised millennials go?

It would be interesting to hear more about the perspective of the Millennial generation raised in inner cities. Here's a comical perspective from Gawker.

Black People Moving to Suburbs as White People Move to Cities

Then there's this perspective from someone raised in Detroit.

Quote:
I did not grow up in the suburbs. I grew up in Detroit, albeit in a solidly stable, black middle class environment. As a child, I never saw the suburbs as a place of stultifying soullessness or oppressive homogeneity. I guess you have to grow up in them to view them that way. I always viewed the suburbs as the other side of the new Wall, an escape from the messiness of the city. I grew up a half mile from Eight Mile Road, Detroit’s northern boundary, and in the ’70s the differences between my side and the other side were pretty stark. They still are.

Good question? To the burbs, that's what I know as a New Yorker. Most of my fellow millnnials that were raised here left the city, most live in Florida and a couple live in NC. One or two live in outside in the NYC metro area.
