New York City is intimidating; trash litters the streets, homelessness is rampant, and crime is steadily increasing. Living here takes some getting used to, but in the end, it opens up your life to new experiences. NYC is full of originality and everyone here is unapologetically themselves. If you intend on unleashing your inner self, New York City is the place to do it.

NYC has a high cost of living and high rates of crime in some areas. Its population density is the highest among major cities of the United States, and as a result, places may seem unclean or unpleasant. However, it is also a restless and bustling city that attracts millions of tourists yearly—and for good reason!

I’ll talk a bit about my hometown, Long Beach, California, as I know it better than New York City. The first thing is that you’re going to need a car. Long Beach wants to be known as a bike-friendly city, but like the rest of California, the reality is that public transport infrastructure is severely underdeveloped. I’d also suggest that you thoroughly research different neighborhoods, as some parts of the city are unsafe. Likewise, ask around about specifics streets within those neighborhoods—like the rest of Southern California, a safe area becomes dangerous remarkably fast.
