Detroit is in Michigan, not NJ.

May I respectfully suggest posting this in the New York City travel section? That group will be more likely to know about the place than the Detroit crowd.

Warren Michigan or Warren, New Jersey?

How to relocate outside of NY? -

i ve lived in the same apt for almost 26yrs. i m leaving in 2010 and i don t know where exactly to go. I ll be 26 and i m currently looking for a new job outside of NY. I only want to be 2-3hrs from home since my father is ill and i don t want to be too far. Any suggestions as to a where an New Yorker, born and raised, would best fit in? and what s the best approach to relocating? thanks!

Take a vacation someplace interesting. While you re there, check out the resident living situation: housing options and pricing, browse the help wanted advertisements, sample the restaurants and grocery stores, drop by a few clubs��all with an eye to seeing if the place suits you.It might be necessary to do this several times until you re comfortable, and to make fair comparisons. More importantly, since you probably have no experience how other places work, you ll find you might have make some mental adaptations: for example, most NYC folks don t have cars. Outside NYC, most people have cars. Almost every city��except NYC��is designed around cars: that s assumed to be how one commutes, shops, and recreates. When imagining living anywhere else, imagine it with a car.As far as fitting in, that s more of challenge. The few New Yorkers I ve met never really have fit in here (Portland, Oregon). They don t get that people don t try to screw everyone, and certainly don t deserve the attitude and stereotypical rudeness. I know that s not true of all New Yorkers, but it s something to keep in mind.

Why must people sugar coat answers on here? -

I ve been reading questions and answers on here so dumb about the Bronx NY where i was born and raised and still live on Bainbridge avenue. People ask if the Bronx is safe and all of you airheads say Oh yes it is very safe! unless your talking about Riverdale, no. where i live there is ALWAYS stabbings, shootings, rapes, muggings whatever. There is also tensions on my block between Irish and Dominican youths that leads into fights and murders. But the question is why must you say the Bronx is so safe? IMO the bronx is 3rd world in certain parts because many people come to the bronx from the 3rd world (Albanians, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Irish, Mexicans, Africans etc.). so why does everyone sugar coat things on here and use crime stats to back up their answers? in my neighborhood i barely see the cops. i m just getting sick of people and their stupid statements about stuff they know NOTHING about.

Not everywhere in the Bronx is bad, but there certainly are some areas that should be avoided if you can. By statistics, NYC is the safest big city. We are also the largest. That means that in the volume of crime, we still rank high.Thank you, you do everyone a service to say that it is not all roses in the Bronx. But they do have a lovely Rose Garden in the Botanical Park.

I agree 100%. It is stupid, that people are giving advice on here that is wrong. But you are right unfortunately that most of the bronx is crime ridden. i live in the bronx as well, although i m a washington heights native. the bronx is the poorest county in the US. also unless your going to the bronx zoo or botanical gardens why else would you visit here if your coming for site-seeing? But the truth is people on here give out wrong bogus advice. only good thing with the bronx is you get very cheap rent.
