A first generation Jamaica American born and raised in Brooklyn NY here, it is very expensive to live here and salary does not match the rent and other cost of living. The only reason I still live here is because I live in my grandparents apartments they got when they moved to America 50 years ago and the rent is what they were paying before they died. Otherwise I would not be able to live here, and if you do you’ll get a tiny apartment and will be paying your soul or you’ll have to get a reliable roommate. I’d love to live in France because apparently dating isn’t as complex as it is here and the culture seems like it matches my Caribbean up bringing. But the apartments are very small over there, I live in a big apartment due to taking over my grandparents apartment.
hey, so interesting what you have shared, thank you for your feedback. I have heard that NYC is very expensive but the opportunities are quite amazing job-wise. Even on the short term it is still interesting to go abroad and see a different work environment but get what you are saying, I bet it is very hard to save money aside when the rents are so expensive. What are your favorite districts to live-in NYC?
@@thefrenchsolution it’s not called districts we call it boroughs but I love Brooklyn which is where I’m from but Williamsburg is nice and Bed-Stuy. But I usually only stay in Brooklyn or Manhattan Lol Queens is too far and the Bronx is blah. But either way you have to watch out for crazy people on the streets and the buses! 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️ it is what it is! But if the job offer pays well and you can afford to come then hey the more the merrier.
Hope you will enjoy spending the day with me :)
I love spending time with you!!! Dot

Dear One, 50% of the people in New York are wanting and planning to leave. Dot
Hey Dottie, I've heard that New Yorkers are moving out especially to Florida where the taxes are lower right ?
