I’m a native New Yorker and I’m over the city. I’ve been here my whole life and am not feeling the way the city has changed in the past 10 years. It used to be a city of neighborhoods and people but now it’s all Disney-fied and full of Sex and the City wannabes. There are more chain stores here than in the Mall of America and very little left here that I love. My friends have moved away and I’ve been unlucky in love in this city for far too long. A change of scenery will do me good.
My entire family lives here so there’s solace in the fact that if I change my mind, I’ll have somewhere to stay ;)

I’m not from here, but I’ve been here 9 years and am leaving in 2 months. It’s so powerful to me when born-and-raised New Yorkers decide to leave.
I started this site with a friend as a way to process the experience of thinking of leaving NYC – it could really use your perspective, and I think you’d get a lot out of it. Check it out if you have a minute!
