Most New Yorkers have a superiority complex and look down on the rest of the world. Read some of the posts on this thread you will see what I mean. I'm not saying that NYC is not a global city or that its not diverse. I'm simply saying that NYC is not the best at everything and even if you agree I'm sure there are many things that you think NYC is the best at when in reality there are other cities that beat NYC in many different categories.
Show me where you read that NYC is the best at everything..
Actually I wanted to get out the projects. I traded in my pistol for a camera and went to Film School.
Would suggest looking into NYC, great place for a film maker, so much going on, great city. Loads of connections you just cant get anywhere else. Very competitive though. Thet say if you can make it there you can make it anywhere.

I tried to get into the New York Film Academy but when I found out that they are referring all their students to Full Sail due to a lack of equipment and staff. Plus if I wanted the best of the best of the film industry I would go to a film school in LOS ANGELES (AKA HOLLYWOOD). And the best cities to go work in film are New Orleans, Miami, Austin, Seattle, Chicago, and Philly. NY and LA aren't doing very well right now. The studios are suffering and indie filmmakers are branching out to different and better markets.
And that's not true considering that NY is one of the safest large cities in the country. New Orleans is much tougher actually. I know this from experience.
NYC itself is not overrated at all...however, I think the people may be (Well atleast on these fourms). I hear all this stuff about New Yorkers being some of the nicest people there are...but some New Yorkers on this site don't seem to reflect the good things I hear about the people there. On the New York City fourm, the people there are very helpful and give you the awnsers you want...but the people there are overrated (according to the things I have read about the people there) when it comes to the city vs city fourm. Many of them seem to think that NYC is the best place for everyone, and is somewhere everyone wants to go...but in real life, the country (for that matter..the world) does not revolve around NYC. If you live in the west...unless you have family there, the west has pretty much nothing to do with New York.
All that being said...NYC is definently Underrated..
Florida is the #3 state by population. NY state dropped to #4
When?
