With that being said, while I’m here. It’s only right to donate my time and resources to the community I’m borrowing the same from (time and resources). As ever said “transplant” should. As far as rent being raised by outsiders…….
It is wild hard to get a spot in New York. I will admit that. But I think it’s more of preference. And knowing how to move. If we live in a capitalist society. The motto is “may the best win”. Or is it, “Only Native New Yorkers can compete”
New York is about getting a foot in the door. And honestly, I’m not here for the opportunity in New York per se. I’ve learned that it’s wiser to be here and take the opportunities across the country, that come out of New York. Get New York money, spend it in a much cheaper place.
Like take a New Yorker, and drop them in Mississippi…. Nigga if you can make it in Mississippi, you can make it anywhere 😂 New York is about cutting through the bullshit, and getting straight to the opportunity. If you can’t do that, you won’t be successful anywhere.
You can literally walk outside, and everything you need is in Arm’s reach. Food, clothing, great amenities. And I find life to be even easier in the “hood”
New York City is the most equipped place with opportunity, and convenience, in the country. Everything is literally at your fingertips tips. If you can’t make it here. You’re a dub.
