Native NYer 1969 until 2015. I couldn't take it anymore.
Jeramiah Moss chronicles my 10 years of misery and the demise of NYC. Verification that I did the right thing by getting the F out of there and moving to San Diego / Mexico.
I still read the NY Post everday, just for laughs.
My body will return to NYC when I pass away but until then it needs to change drastically befor I ever move back there.
Thanks for the recommendation.
By the way....it will happen to most great cities eventually....

Not necessarily. There were very specific reasons it happened to NYC that won't necessarily replicate in other cities. NYC went from an industrial city to a city aimed at tourists, students, business people and others with short term stays.
By the 2000s, he writes, the color and warmth of New York were “rapidly draining from the city, replaced by something dull and cold. Where there had been gruff affability, there is chilly disdain. Where there had been mutual recognition, there is disregard. And that famed rudeness of New Yorkers, really a combination of urban impatience and healthy suspicion, has been replaced with the icy aura of contempt. It’s as if your best friend, that warm, funny, irreverent person, went away to summer camp, hung out with all the wrong people, and came back mean.”
