Okay guys, settle down with the personal stories from a decade ago that we've heard a gazillion times on here. Really. Different places for different people, but that doesn't mean the other place is bad for most.
more than half of the nyc forum consists of ppl wanting to move from elsewhere in the country or the world to ny. there's a specific thread at the top explaining to ppl what they should do, why, where, when, how, etc.
there's a thread there right now with a 30 year old lady who has 200 dollars to her name and wants to buy a one way ticket to nyc and never go back to where she's from.

its that serious.
in summary: "we on it like that."
But according to the Texans on here, not many people are moving to NY It's funny, isn't it...Take a look at this message board. It says a lot:
on LI who moved there hated it. In fact they eventually, shut down their Houston office, because they couldn't get people to go there. My opinion? I am done with the SOUTH, anywhere. I would rather live in Section 8 housing on food stamps in NY than in a mansion anywhere in there south.
There are things money cannot buy.
You're really passionate about NY, that's a hard way to live, most NYers in that situation would take the Southern Mansion (I know I would, I'm thankful I'm not in that situation).

Ok, so according to you, most of the people receiving welfare in NY refuse to work and abuse the system? Riiiiight. Tell that to the parents of my students in the south Bronx who work 12 hour shifts making minimum wage.
