[quote=Anonymous]Does she really want out -- or is she just complaining as everyone in NYC does? I am the PP who moved to DC 4 weeks ago bc I just could no longer deal with a place where a washer/dryer is considered a luxury for which you pay $3500/rent rather than $2500 for a studio (meaning those "little" luxuries that everyone in suburbia are considered true luxury in Manhattan and thus landlords charge about $1000/month more for otherwise crappy apartments). Having grown up in suburbia -- 10 yrs in an apt without wall to wall carpeting or a thermostat (meaning you have to get up in the night to turn the heat on/off) or a car -- was more than I could take. And yet my friends there think I'm nuts and don't see these "hassles" as a reason to leave the "greatest city on earth." I think life there is way over rated unless you're making investment banking/hedge fund money you can't make in other cities -- in which case you can afford luxuries.[/quote]
