I live in New York City. I think its a great city. What do you think?
I love NYC. I work in Manhattan and live in Philly so I spend a lot of time in the city. It's the most populous city in the United States which makes it hard to get to work on time. 
Yes that is one problem. It is really crowded and public transportation is not good enough for such a populous city!
I take the train then a taxi. With an estimated 2016 population of 8,537,673 I don't rely on the subway. 
That is incredible. Have you considering moving to the state of North Carolina? It has fewer people and less traffic.
No, I work in fiance and NYC is the capital of the Finical world. If you take into account the surrounding area's like the bronx NYC is closer to estimated 23.7 million residents.
