Cheaper rent than Silicon Valley, tons of cultural diversity, and amazing food. Really nice place to live.
NYC is actually amongst the lowest for Cost of Living adjusted salaries out of all the major tech cities: https://hired.com/state-of-salaries-2017 Rent isn't exactly cheap in NYC

High stress, high pollution, rat race of a lifestyle, you are regulated and taxed on more things you even thought possible, and one of the worst imaginable places to try and raise a family. It has it's pros and cons, but I think we both agree it is certainly better than Silicon Valley. It's great if you are a young professional figuring out the world, but eventually people want their space and be able to stretch out…
I have 4 years of full stack experience. Do people tailor their resume for NYC companies?

You can always move to central Jersey and take a train
I really want to move to NYC. As a full stack developer in SF I only get interest from companies in the Bay Area. All my NYC applications get no response even if it's the same resume with locations removed. Am I missing something? Can someone who has mde a similar move cue me in?

One thing to consider is that it's a bigger bet than trying to recruit someone that's a little more local. They'd have to fly you out and it's not uncommon for people to say they want to move, but then decide it's not for them after going through the entire interview pipeline.
Larger companies are more willing to take on this risk, so if you're only applying for smaller ones, that might be a reason why you're not hearing back.
Try this: find a recruiter at the companies that you want to apply for on LinkedIn and message them directly. Convey both your interest in working for their company and your desire to be in NYC.

I think California is also known for regulation and taxation.
Solid public and private school options. Lovely little towns every couple of miles.

How long is the train ride usually? I've never been to NY
Walking to my train station in NJ, door to door for me is 1hr 10min. Less than an hour if I drive to the station.
What is Boston doing wrong? In the 80s thanks to the 128 Tech Row, it was on par with Silicon Valley as the top spot, then it lost ground and now NYC is considered #2? We have the highest concentration of collegiate tech talent, the same weather as NYC (obviously worse than SV), lower cost of living than both cities, and there's been a ton of investment in real estate for tech companies in the Seaport District. Too l…
It depends on the list, but in general Boston is in the top 5 or 10, while being an order of magnitude smaller than either NYC or SF.
