Wolf, I took a couple of strength cycles at Solace with you and it is too bad the environment got worse. I'm sure you have a pretty good idea of opportunities in the NYC area, but thought I'd drop in a line here. Across the river from Manhattan, Jersey City is literally exploding with population growth in the 20-35 demographic - might be worth a look for your next move. The gym I go to at Grove street has 7 squat racks now and you can deadlift anywhere in the gym. The gym is packed every evening with people doing barbell training!
