Moving to New York City in 2024? What to ACTUALLY expect.

Moving to a new city is a huge life change. If you're an average person wanting to move to New York City in 2024, this video is full of things you should know about the city before you arrive... from the current state of the city to my advice on what it's really like. I am a transplant who has lived in NYC for the last 7 years and have had a ton of experiences here both with roommates and living alone so hopefully you can trust me ;) I'm hoping me sharing these tips can help just one other person in their journey.
