Not surprising in the least.
New York City Is America's Unhappiest City: Study
Wednesday, Jul 23, 2014 | Updated 11:43 AM EDT
People living in the Big Apple are in rotten moods more often than people in other cities, according to a new study.
New York City was ranked the least happy city in America when adjusted for income, according to a working study, titled “Unhappy Cities,†released by the National Bureau of Economic Research.
The study ranked those self-reported answers and adjusted them for income, housing prices, age and other factors that might influence how happy a place could be.
It was also found that new residents were just as happy – or unhappy – as older respondents, which the study’s authors said suggested that happiness trends are sustained over time.
Again, not surprising. The crush of the mass of people keeps me away. Supposedly, though, the happiest city was Washington DC.

When one lives in a densely populated city, there is going to be more stress. This is on top of high taxes and high property value. The cost living is going to be high. It also happens to have a lot of leftists.
