Volume 1, Issue 31, December 9, 2009: The Rotten Apple

      As you know already, I'm a fashion major and one of the best places to work in fashion is NYC. NYC is my favorite U.S. city. It has everything I like, millions of hot single people, 24 hour public transportation, costal, and lots of things to do. I want to move there after school and work their. But lately I've been hearing a lot bad reviews about the big apple. Like it's very expensive, its hard to survive there, over-crowded, it's dirty, etc.


I still want to move there. I don't really care for that other fashion cities in LA and Miami.


LA=I'm sorry I just find the people there very fake.


Miami=Same as LA, and I wouldn't want hurricanes coming to me all the time.


I find LA and Miami boring. But I like the weather better in those areas than I do in NYC. But the plus side of LA and Miami the houses/apartments are better and less expensive than NYC.


Average NYC Rent for a 1 bedroom apartment=$2,700
Average DC Rent for a 1 bedroom apartment=$1,100
Average LA Rent for a 1 bedroom apartment=$1,700
Average Miami Renet for a 1 bedroom apartment=$800-1,000


Wow that blows. I would be spending most of my money on rent. :(


That's why I'm doing my research before I even move there. I would want to live in the city. I wouldn't want to have to live in Long Island or New Jersey. I prefer Manhattan, than Brooklyn, than the Bronx, than Queens, and than Stanen Island.


Places in Manhattan that I'm considering:


-Washington Heights: This area has the largest population of Dominicans outside of the Dominican Republic. Cool I can catch up with my Spanish and get a nice and cheap place.


-Harlem: One of America's oldest and most famous Black neighborhoods. Home to the Apollo Theater, 106 & Park, and the Harlem Globetroteers. 


-Hamilton Heights-Close to Columbia
