Thinking of leaving NYC? StreetEasy has something to say about that.
Research shows that 92% of folks who left the city feel some regret, primarily missing the small, everyday experiences unique to New York.
SteetEasy and Mother New York have launched the “Never Become a Former New Yorker” campaign, featuring former New Yorkers experiencing bitter buyer’s remorse—like eating trash pizza in the suburbs and realizing that “cul-de-sac” is just a fancy term for a “dead end.”
Former residents can even call a hotline, 1-833-I-MISS-NYC, to share what they miss most or listen to iconic city sounds, such as the Manhattan Bridge underpass near East Broadway. Large-scale, hand-painted murals are also planned for Williamsburg and SoHo in April.
