    "Well, the fact that I wish I could move from New York is not the greatest endorsement vet. This is the only neighborhood I would live here. What are the reasons I do not move? I could not afford to leave and move back. Period. But if you want to live in Manhattan and you want to be near the subway and you want to feel like you’re not living in New York City, then definitely move here because eventually everyone is going to want to leave New York City for a short period or long duration or forever. At least you have the park."
