When I moved to NYC, you could come here with very little money, find a job, and find an affordable apartment without shelling out to a real estate parasite. There were lots of small local coffee shops and restaurants rather than crapfood chains, Little Italy was still Little Italy, and SOHO was full of artists' lofts and major galleries.

But tell me again how bad the 70s and 80s were.
