as a Chinese person, the answer is quite simple - Hong Kong. The only places worth living in NY would be the Upper East/West Side of Manhattan, out in Long Island, or way out in the boonies. Everywh ...
I was born and raised in San Francisco. SF is the BEST FUCKING PLACE TO LIVE. PERIOD!! I'm in finance though, and so it is really, NYC, London or HK. That said, if Obama and his minions decide to go too far with regulation, then I might be headed to HK to just find employment. I've had 10+ close friends up root themselves (usually forced) just to find employment in Beijing or HK.
I really wish they'd go after the people that cause this mess: Rating agencies and stupid poor people. It should be mandatory to take a class in finance before you get a mortgage, a car loan or a credit card. Congress can curtail the supply, but this will hurt middle America and bankers will just do stuff overseas. They need to fix the demand side and educate people. Sorry for the rant.
Anyone also worried about the fact that China seems like a giant bubble? I'd also be worried that I'd get there right as the bubble bursts, and it is very hard to come back to NYC.
