Anonymous I think cameras in buses are mainly to protect the driver via recording whats already happened, theres no live monitoring of the camera. The train conductors/other subway staff are already protected by usually being in secure booths or rooms. It also takes a tremendous amount of funding to put cameras in each train car when a unit or string of cars that pulls into a station has roughly 8 - 10 cars. With multiple units on each line and multiple train lines in the system even if you could adapt old trains with cameras it sounds waaaaaay too expensive. Despite however cheap cameras may be the MTA made the regular buses free from late March to Aug 31st so I would imagine spending more money on something extra is off the table.

alwaysmylove Come to the mission district in Los Angeles. 35,000 homeless people at this point. San Fran has a poo and needle app for visitors. So that you can avoid the worst areas. They have lost most of their convention business now. A street lamp fellow over and landed on a car because it rusted through from being urinated on so often. San Fran is now the car break in capital of the country. I ran a homeless ministry for a decade. This is misplace compassion. NYC can regress back to this in a year of two if they don’t reverse course. And then will have 20 years to reverse it.

Jeff, you really nailed it down to the core experiences. I also packed up and made the great escape. Could not have said any any better,! Same dating experiences, food and friends. We would have been good friends if our paths crossed in the Big Apple

awesome. thks for the video!!!

Just moved back to the US after living in London for 6 years, so I definitely relate to everything you mentioned. Best of Luck in your next venture Jeff!

I don’t even know what you’re talking abt when it comes to dating. No man I ever went out on a date with wanted to commit. It’s all about sex. I feel like the goal of every single man in nyc who goes out dating, is to get laid as much as they can.

Tom D define nice. I can tell you from my own personal experience that an average looking guy could be just as big of an asshole as what you’d expect from the “playboy” type. At least “playboy” arrogance won’t come as a surprise.

I still live in the Bronx suffering and seeing most people here going through the same thing as me

I live in Wilmington, NC and there are tons of northerners who come down here to flee those places. Tons of New Yorkers. Turns out the policies they voted for screwed them over and now they are moving to the place they swore they hated. The poetry of it all 😂 bit of a generalization, but I think NYC has changed a lot. The political leaders are driving the property value down by turning it into a shithole so they and all their friends can come in and scoop it all up. That’s my take at least. I’ve always liked visiting, but it will drain you if you don’t prepare accordingly.

When I lived in NYC (Park Slope, then Upper West Side), a local friend of mine told me: “I think everyone should live in New York... about 5-7 year, just until it nearly breaks you.” So that’s what I did. Now I’m in London which, though expensive, is so much easier in so many ways.

I can completely relate to what you are currently feeling. I was studying and working in Northern California for approximately 6 years. I moved back to LOs Angeles to be with family only to find out that I don’t like LA for the same reasons you just described in your video. Homelessness is out of hand, rent is super expensive, ppl always looking who you are connected with or what do you have to offer, traffic, and not a lot of greenery, which was something you see in Northern California. Best wishes and excited to see what’s next for you! Oh and I’m considering moving to Washington.

Good luck Jeff! I can certainly see your reasons for wanting to leave, especially the nature aspect. I can tolerate working in a city, but I really think I'd hate living in one. I need space and greenery. - Jim

Ya know, when this virus first hit, I was telling friends and clients that perhaps this might be a blessing in disguise and it might cause us the stop and reflect on what we used to think was important in life and maybe re-evaluate our priorities. But, unfortunately, I don’t see that happening. Just listening to this guy talk confirms that we haven’t learned anything and if the virus disappeared overnight we’d all just go back to living life as if all that matters is distinguishing between pleasant and unpleasant. You know who else lives like that? Cockroaches.

If your income dries up doesn’t matter where you are.You will need to adapt. Also you are moving into midlife crises mode.Comfortable with yourself you can make anywhere “home”

I lived in Hong Kong for 5 years in the 00's and this is an exact blueprint of what happened to me, awesome place, exciting, colorful but there's a beginning a middle and an end to everything you just gotta know when things have run their course.

as native NYer of 56 years, I'm moving out in a few weeks...this man hit the nail right on the head. I recall myself saying I'll never ever leave this town over the decades...you got to be crazy to leave NYC.......but no, things have changed......i thank this non-native for making NYC even greater....but even he knows its time to get out.

I just published a video about Dallas & I feel the same way. I'm 31 moving to Bend at end of the year. I don't care if I have to pitch a tent under a tree, it is so horrendous now in big cities.

I used to visit Nyc every weekend. The best Food, Clothes and Stores! God bless you.

Another thing when I left in 1995 I saw a lot of companies that were leaving so I asked some why . They said since they make thing in other parts of the country and overseas. All they needed was a small office, a computer, and phones. With next day delivery and low overhead. That was the beginning of the exidos of business out of N Y. . I also saw large factories move and with that I was losing my customers. So I left. Too Best thing I ever Did.

Hope you will be happy wherever you go!

"you know a new yorker when someone screams and nobody looks" so true. Lmao.
