If you are from N.Y.C., are you proud of that accomplishment or disappointed?

For those who used to say, "life is too short", they might have to say something else now. Like, Goldilocks, they will now say: "Life is just right!"
And how did they do it? Are people living longer due to improvements in health care etc. or are fewer being killed due to crime or accidents at a young age?
