This. A few people asked why you were in NYC, with the idea in mind that moving elsewhere might, or might not, be worth considering—from what you had told us so far, it wasn’t clear whether this was something you should at least think about.
You seemed to resent the question, and eventually you came out with this non-sequitur:
This is a non-answer. It says nothing about why you came specifically to NYC nor about why or whether you want to stay there, only about why you left the place you were before, and it’s not relevant to what anyone was asking. It almost makes you sound as though you don’t believe any place other than New York exists.
No one was asking for anything more personal than you already gave in your OP.
