If you guys like paying through your bloody noses for Yeshiva tuition, feel free to live OOT. In The City That Never Sleeps tuition is substantially cheaper.
This is a joke, right?
Maybe in some chaseedisher communities but besides for that you couldn't be more wrong.
OOT tuition in places like CLE and PIT is cheap and they are more than willing to cut huge breaks.
Kosher food is significantly cheaper in the Big Apple.
I used to think that was true. Having done a comparison of many products though it simply isn't.
Actually many grocery and meat items were cheaper in CLE than NYC.
Even if overall it's slightly cheaper I'd still take ample free parking with a minor price premium.
That's all kosher items, regular grocery items are wayyyy cheaper in CLE than NYC. Unless you've located a Walmart /SuperWalmart in Brooklyn?
And that's not even counting the ridiculously high cost of living in NYC, etc
Shidduchim everyone comes to NY. Others move here from OOT for the shidduch opportunities and to save constant travel expenses to visit The Capital of The World.
I dated 2 girls from NYC. And 2 from LA for that matter. I refused to date another from those places after that.
Sure that's a
ridiculously small sample size but OOT girls I dated were more aidel, less nosy/gossipy, less stuck-up about their city being the only place worth living, and more willing to move anywhere where the husband needed to be.
I was happy to fly across the continent to date them.
