I'd say movies and tv series are the blame to the youth wish to live there.. who hasn't dreamed to be in the NY of "Friends" per example?

Then you start thinking that they had huge apartments and were almost never working and that doesn't match with reality 🤣

Well, rent WAS cheaper back in the 90s, but NYC wasnt that cheap.
