New York is horrible!
-Most of the year is uncomfortably hot or uncomfortably cold.
-The taxes (sales, income, real estate, etc. etc.) are CRAZY!
-Despite the bogus statistics, way too dangerous!
Yes, there ARE lots of yeshivas, shuls, and kosher food places in New York, but how many do you really need?
Why doesn’t the frum community get up in mass and move to a better location?!? Ideally, of course to Eretz Yisrael, but if not there, to a place like New Hampshire or another beautiful state with less taxes, less crime, and a better climate!
I really can NOT figure out why any non-Jew (who obviously does not need the shuls, yeshivos, etc.) would live here if he can find a job elsewhere. Home-wise you can get so much more for so much less in so many other states.
