There have to be some big perks to living in a major metropolitan city, to balance out the challenge of dealing with our eroding transportation system. The biggest one might be food: in New York, you can eat anything from anywhere, so if you, like me, are from a family whose food heritage runs in the range of Western European to Western European, there's not much pressure to learn to make cuisines outside those you've been brought up eating. You can buy it, more cheaply, easily, and much tastier than if you made it yourself.
