Default NYC on 75K Salary?
I get the feeling some of you are rolling on the floor right now in laughter after reading my title.

Well I hope you choke ..cause it's for real!

Here's the thing. I'm an ex-NY'er who was practically kidnapped by his parents and forcibly taken away to live in a desolate desert shittehole by the name of Orange County, Southern CA.
Yes indeed, the infamous OC where some of the more exciting outdoor activities include lizard racing, mowing the lawn and sitting in ones car on the way to ..well, to anywhere because no-one walks here anyway. This place feels like Arkansas man. It's the American Outter Mongolia. The people are pretty mongoloid too.

Anyway, I'm now at an age where I can dump the two bastards and break-out on my own, so guess where I wanna go?. NY f@cking CITY is right! I miss it sooooo much.

I've had a job offer from Hudson County which is based in JC (yikes!) that pays 75K and I was wondering if maybe, perhaps, someway, I could swing living in Tribeca or some other easily commutable area downtown. I'm probably just dreamin' and some of you wanna bit@h-slap me into awakeness already, huh?.

Well eat me cause if I can't swing it then I'm gonna do something REALLY drastic ..like move to Hoboken.

Seriously tho, what are my chances of making it?. If downtown is out, are Hoboken or JC really an option to even consider living in? Because I mean that way I can at least still get a freakin' glimpse of my beloved NYC, right?.
(sob) The job itself is based near Journal Square and I'd like to stay close by, both because of it's proximity to NYC and the fact that I've never even been to Jersey and quite frankly as a kid I had this idea that it was a crapper.

Give it to me straight, please.
