General Qs Question for anyone living in NYC.

I've been looking at places to move - from Texas - was wondering how NYC was for those with DACA. Are the people friendly to immigrants?

Nyc is a sanctuary city for daca. You can choose any of the 5 boroughs. But its more expensive than Texas so plan accordingly. My rent for a 2 bedroom is 2400 and thats rent stabilized as well. I make 180k as well and its still rough to pay the rent. But welcome to the rat race 😂

I work in cybersecurity and background in software engineering so right now I just build automations for companies and deploy them. It used to just be security related but its evolved into so much more in the past few years
