How to get over hating your neighborhood when you can't move

[Guest]

It's really nice to read all of your posts. I will go over them again and take in the wisdom and advice... One good thing about the economic situation is that rents are getting cheaper, so maybe I can move sometime soon. Who knows? E-Lo thanks for your understanding, it sounds like you know exactly what I am talking about and yes, we are close neighbors. I am pretty close to the Slope.

So much money for rentals in NY, and it's so hectic. I'm still trying to find out if I can find a comfortable place. It also involves my social connections and I don't have much going on that's settling. I do have some friends/acquaintances, but that, too, has involved so much compromise. The older I get, the more I think I have to accept not being comfortable and just try to keep up the bills, etc., but this is not how I want to see life. I hope I gain the perspective, the support, and the ability to make strong changes for myself in a good direction to reach more happiness at some point (soon). Blessings to you all...
