Young People Love NY!

Breaking news: According to a Pew Research Center survey, young people want to live in big cities like New York (or Los Angeles)! As for everyone else, NYC doesn't rank as high. The NY Times explains a Big Apple yearning is more likely "if [respondents] already live in a city, in the East, are black, college educated, make more than $100,000, have never been married, have no children, are liberal and don’t regularly attend religious services." Also, those 18-29 looking for a "faster lifestyle" prefer NYC. However, the city most of the survey's respondents like? Denver. Pew Research's Rick Morin said, "It's a city that ranks high on most of the lists. It's a new city, a growing city, a younger city on what most people would perceive as the doorstep of God's country — the Rocky Mountains." Other desirable-to-live-in cities include San Diego, Seattle, Orlando, Tampa and San Francisco while the least are Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Minneapolis and Pittsburgh.
