We went from landlords to pussy. Lush meadows and trees to pussy. Concrete life to pussy. Stay tuned as men debate "Paper or Plastic Bags?- Where is the best pussy?"
Nothing, and I repeat, NOTHING will beat the strip tease class at Crunch Gym. Been 2 years and I'm still amazed at what goes on in that room. Some of those bodies belong in magazine spreads.
In terms of living there, it depends on your personality. I like the nitty gritty, it has character. For example, I have been offered a great deal in downtown (by Battery Park) in a luxury building, yet I hesitate, because I find that area extremely boring and stiff. Some people love that area, because their personality is uptight and they like to be in that whole financial industry persona bubble. Harlem seems to resemble East Village, just with a lot more diversity and a little more raw. That's the demographic which it appeals to the most and developers have taken advantage of this. Really, people are being priced out of rest of Manhattan so they are looking in places that 10 years were considered war zones. I think the real irony is that what made SoHo such a hot spot was not the money but the poor struggling artists, actors, performers, writers, etc. When the money moves in, they move out. Now SoHo has no character, just overpriced restaurants & luxury items. East Village is undergoing this at the moment. Rinse & repeat. I do think that Manhattan is overbuilt at the moment with all these new luxury (aka cheap overpriced crap) condos & rentals. Most NYC landlords are overleveraged. This place is due for a serious correction. There are already projects being abandoned midway through construction. Should get interesting.
Dude. Do you want all the people from NY to move to your neighborhood? I live in a city that was recently at the top of a "most livable" list. You're better off keeping quiet and enjoying life. It's probably better that all the rat-racers are kept in crowded, small areas and paying high taxes for the rest of us. I want them to stay there, and keep their lifestyles there - not here.

LMAO - so true. The guys that talk the most about pussy are the ones that get it the least. Either that or they're so obsessed with it that they are porn and jerk off addicts. BTW, NYC is relatively not that expensive: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_cities You guys need to stop bitching about the price of NYC. Especially when you can live in NJ for half the price. There are buses that go to NYC from all over NJ.
