<p>Nice article, but I don’t think New York is all that challenging anymore. In the 70s and 80s it was dirty and dangerous, but now it’s pretty easy to deal with. It’s no worse than any other large city, and better than many.</p>

<p>We live in New Jersey, and if you told me in the 80s that I would someday let my teen daughter take the train into Manhattan with a friend and bum around the city for a day unsupervised, I would have thought you were crazy. But in the 2000s, it was a reality.</p>

<p>I do hope DiBlasio keeps it going and does not allow crime and disorder to return to the city.</p>

<p>New York has become a much easier place to visit, although it’s still not the easiest place to live unless you’re pretty darn rich. The challenges have to do with waiting in lines, schlepping groceries and other stuff through the streets and up the stairs to your walk-up, and the like.</p>

<p>Right, NJSue. I was gonna say, in this day and age, if you have to learn how to “survive” in NYC (aside from the cost) maybe its not the right place to be. Should be how to thrive in NYC.</p>
