So there are a lot of threads talking about the bad aspects of New York

ie taxes...COL...etc

So I was wondering what some of the positives are of living in the state. (Also if anyone wants to do a list Pros & Cons that'd be okay too)

Our pizza is the best, and its not overpriced compared to everything else in the city.
And we have Bodegas everywhere, so when you're hungry , food is always available.

Pros: Having NYC out your backdoor, close proximity to mountainous areas, the historic Hudson Valley, mass transit options, the Great Lakes, being so close to Canada, being a reasonable distance from any major city in the 'metropolis,' casinos at 18, the best pizza in the country, great food options overall, get to experience all four seasons, diversity, being close to the ocean

Cons: Cost of living, taxes, excessive snow and cold; especially north, summer humidity, lots of tourists (sometimes can be annoying), poor/overly aggressive drivers (especially Jersey), poor Mexican food

For a minute, I thought most of the "cons" was describing Orlando, FL (with the exception of the snow and cold).

Pro: When you leave the City, your salary/retirement will probably eclipse what others are making wherever you go, leaving you in good financial shape.

Con: NYC and the entire surrounding area
