I lived here nearly my whole life with a couple years in Florida and another couple in Jersey.
This city sucks ass and I hate it. I can't freaking drive anywhere and on top of the congestion pricing and bike lanes, bus lanes, and whatever in my area, I am done.
Nearly everyone in my neighborhood in Queens is gone and all these people from wherever moved in. It was great when it was just white and black, but even the new generation of whites are not like the old ones. They don't have car or if they do, they never drive them and just use the bus or subway. I got nothing in common with them.
I was hoping our city would get rid of all these subways and bike paths, and we could be like Texas with their big freeways, but instead we are almost like Europe. I tried to get people to stop reactivating the Rockaway Branch and some pro-transit guy punched me in the head and spat on me last month.
I been looking at homes in Texas or Tennessee cause I want to be around people that look like me and people that want to be like America not like Europe or Asia. The homes are beautiful especially in Tennessee and I get a ton of space as well.

While I don't really remember Queens being just black/white (I was born in the 70s), I do agree it's become a lot lot lot lot lot more foreign born vs. when I grew up. Cultural diversity is cool and interesting...to a certain degree. But yea, Queens doesn't reflect America.
But I feel your pain regarding cars. I just put another $1400 into breaks/shocks because QUEENS/BK/BRONX have the worst roads in the country. And I've driven in just about every American city. And it's only getting worse. Even out in LA, I felt like I was on the open road in what they consider "traffic."
New York City has never been car friendly. Even the outer boroughs, in recent years, are now showing that reality (unless you have a garage, which most in this city don't!).
As for demographics, that changes all the time in New York City. Wherever you choose, good luck.
It is well documented. Look it up.
Diversity and GDP go hand in hand as long as diversity does not get out of hand.
Races and cultures can compliment or oppose your unique upbringing. Some blend well into diversity others don't.
The individual posting is in opposition to congestion Eurpoean and Asian assimilation. I am not offended. Fine by me.
Leaving the city for Texas might be the right move for this person. I can not pass judgement for the way this person feels
unless the actions of this person directly has an affect on me,my family and my property. All I can say is
