There are many advantages to living in a place like New York City but sadly there are disadvantages and the worst among them is it could cost you your life. Even so even though do you like to be in the middle of lots of action, activities and have lots of choices? I've never been a big city girl but I've always loved to live close enough to go "there" and visit for awhile. The pace of life seems very fast in big cities. Freeways for one thing are a nightmare of congestion and frustration in Los Angeles. Well you can't have it all. Are you happy with what you DO have?
