[closure]

All I really mean is that on balance I think it’s worth the trade-off (due to the other pluses). I wouldn’t trade SF for say an inexpensive area with no culture and bad weather, but I think I am willing to put up with the heat & humidity along with cold & snow given all the rest NYC has to offer.

The secret is to move to Chicago first for a couple years, then come to NY like I did. You will feel blessed to live in NY weather.
