Keep in mind we also pay more taxes than anyone else- federal, state, and city, and things cost a lot more in NYC. For example, a single movie ticket is $10.50. Oh and we have taxes on literally EVERYTHING, even clothing. A pack of cigarettes costs around $7 I think here. Not 100% sure because I don't smoke.

My neighbor and her friend from college did a NYC- California comparison a few years back and figured out that SF/LA was more expensive becuase you can't NOT have a car. Now, that was in the Sillicon Valley hayday, and rent has gone down quite a bit (I think my place used to go for 2300-2400, and we pay 1425). I'm glad it's not that expensive anymore! I have two friends who are living in NYC who pay 1400 each for a 800sf 2 bedroom place (although I think it is in a very nice area and has a doorman). It's NUTS!
