as a born & raised NYer who can't afford a house where I grew up or where I live in NYC, this talking point drives me nuts. my family, friends, & career are here. I also want a kid, meaning all of that nearby is integral. but if I want affordability too, I should "just leave"?
Jennifer A. Frey@jennfrey19h
Why don't they just leave NYC? I'm not trying to be callous, but there's a whole wonderful world out there that's more affordable. nytimes.com/2026/10/25/nyreg…

Can’t Afford a Home. Can’t Afford a Baby. Can’t Afford Life. This is 30.

They’re trying to build middle-class lives in New York. But many 30-year-olds in the city feel worse off than their parents. Is it average adult angst? Or something more enduring?

Moment an American pastor and prophetess, who are both married, introduce a new wife to their congregation and announce that they are now in a polygynous marriage with a female church member, claiming it is the “will of God.” 😭🤦🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️

derivative brands/creators raced to put on quirky experiential in-person events after the first few OG ones popped off in nyc (starting ~2024) then like any trend online, whatever appeal they had got subsumed by dorky, low-effort copycats want more fun in-person stuff, fewer hacky executions of it

my hot take is that nyc has overdone it with the lookalike competitions and they have lost their charm

when i ask 3yo not to say “shut up” he says “well the shut up man is coming tomorrow and going to say shut up to you”. kind of difficult to respond to that. if i ask who the shut up man is, he says “oh you don’t know???” and laughs at me. feels like bullying
