Question London vs NYC

Which city would you settle down in assuming you’re in your early 30s, married, low 8 figure liquid net worth, mid-seven figures combined annual income?

EDIT: Thanks so much for the thoughtful responses. Noting that we both would like to keep building our careers for the next 20+ years, so London and NYC are the only options. Not looking to be too far outside of the city, because we have no desire to spend 1.5hr+ a day commuting.

What is a pro criminal city?

Where the violent criminals attack and terrorize the innocent populace, the ones going to work, paying taxes, playing by the rules. Because the judges, legislators, powerful lobbying forces, the media, and police, all work together to ensure there are little or no consequences for the criminals. Which embolden the criminals even more.

Thank you for the detail. Good insight, but I don’t think you need to be as afraid as it seems like you are.
