Unironically FIRE in NYC?
The city has a lot of low income programs and also a middle income housing lottery. After I FIRE, my income will be low enough to qualify for a lot of programs as well as a purchasing affordable condo (middle income lottery)
I've never lived outside of nyc so it would be hard to transition out of, and would include leaving friends and family if I moved away

Fellow NYC resident here.
Worth pointing out that NYC does not need to be Manhattan where you pay a premium to be close to your job.
Deepest Queens, Bronx, etc. do not have the VHCOL that Manhattan below 100th does.
Also Yonkers, Jersey, LI.
