What It's REALLY Like Living In NYC

With TV shows like "The City" and "The Real Housewives of NYC", we get to see how the "glamorous" people live in this beloved city (bad chemical peels and all - I'm talking to you, Kelly!). But really, how many people do you know that actually live like that? I know no one. I know people who like to pretend they do, and thus have obscene amounts of credit card debt, but the reality of it is, most of NYC lives something like this:

Tiny, overpriced apartment, mouse/bug problems, subway/bus to work/events (cab only when too drunk to get self home on subway), 14-hour work days for not a lot of money, shops at The Gap, Banana, H&M and Forever 21, and hangs out at dive bars where PBRs are $2 on a Friday or Saturday night (slash every night).

I want a reality show that follows the real people of New York City. A show that captures the bitter, angry residents when the MTA votes 12-1 in favor of a 25% fare hike, making a single ride $2.50 and a monthly pass $103. That goes to the dive bars and films us wearing hoodies and Chuck Taylors instead of minidresses and Louboutins, wrestling our way onto the 6 train in the mornings, screaming at the sight of a dead mouse on the kitchen floor, and getting drunk off $12 unlimited mimosas before going to the movies for the afternoon. Because that, my little apples, is how we in the Big Apple really live.
