Awesome article about the best cities for young people nowadays

I am going to one day go back to NYC no matter what happens so I want the city to do well. As much as I may sound like hating on the city, Manhattan made me. However, I know it is not doable for most young people. So many of my classmates who moved ended up moving out after a couple of years. The city has a big grind factor to it that most young people cannot handle.

The networking opportunities are insane and it has a lot to offer but I can see why Chicago would be ranked so high. It is a cleaner and somewhat more relaxed version of NYC. You walk the streets that are so wide so you no longer have to cuss like a sailor because the tourist in front of you is walking slow and you have to get around them.

I will always love NYC (well really only just Manhattan), it made me.

Sometimes I wonder if Chicago is gonna be the next top US city in the coming decade.

Chicago is a shiithole too, like NYC, San Fran, and Los Angeles.

Similar experience except for the fact that now, so much has gone remote and online. If you are only going for a career in a given niche space like let's say tech, I will suggest Seattle and San Francisco (even Austin) over NYC anyday. IMO, the networking pays off in NYC if you are in big finance or big4 consulting but those fields are trending downwards.

Where were you born again?
