Are you a happy camper?

A new survey conducted by the Municipal Art Council reveals that most New Yorkers especially white males, under the age of 45 are 'happy' with the city as the city works for them. Well I am under 45 but not white or male and I quite am happy with NYC no matter its misgivings. Does the survey hold true for you?

@hhusted You made your views pretty clear, I guess you can skip this one.

Ha... I think hhusted is the only one who qualifies to be a part of the survey.

I think that, were it not for the price and the distance from relatives and friends in Europe and the Caucasus, I'd be very happy indeed living in New York City full-time. It's a great, great place!

@ajadedidealist that's so true,it takes me nearly 20 hours to get to my parents place in Mumbai from my home in NYC and the journey usually includes a 15 hr non stop flight.

@Uptowngirl: I can't take the survey anyway, since I am over 45.

I can't imagine living anywhere else for a long period of time. I'm all for taking months to travel the world, but I like to return to my NY home base.
