I mean yeah if you want. I'd rather live in New York, LA, Houston, Phoenix, Philly, Chicago, San Diego, etc. than Jacksonville, Oklahoma City, Fresno, Mesa, etc.
I'd much rather live in any of those cities than Mississippi or Alabama.
You have no clue what NY and LA are like right now. Haven't been to chicago enough to comment but its a shihole.
Its absolutely insane to say you'd want to live there. Its the ****ing wild west now there.
