Have you visited Manhattan Frank? I certainly prefer living in the country where the burden of rules, laws and deadlines is light, but I have to say, NY offers something spectacular that a smaller city can't. Mostly though, it offers economic possibilities.
You are correct in that there is a law or regulation against doing virtually everything in NY city. Bloomberg's village is the epitome of the Nanny state. That's one of the worst aspects of life here.

Wages are much higher here, but so are taxes and rents, which are astronomical. What the right hand giveth, the left hand taketh away...

I doubt that you would like it, but you'd get to see that not everyone who lives in a large city is miserable or bothered by congestion.
