Which really can be said of any large cities. Like NYC would be AMAZING if you had the resources to own one of those old school brownstones and made 7+ figures a year.
Yeah, and I don't think SD is quite NYC level expensive either. I was just browsing some cost of living estimates for various cities, where 100 is average for the US, and SD is only at 160 (compared to like 190 for NYC and 260 for SF). Although this website lists Pittsburgh at only 87.5 and cheaper than the rest of PA, so I'm not sure how accurate this really is. Pittsburgh is definitely cheap overall, but to that level? I guess it depends where in the city you live.
Man, it's crazy how expensive San Fransisco is, though. Like I would have guessed it was the most expensive US city, but nothing else even comes close to it. San Jose breaks 200, NYC is about 190 and LA, Honolulu, Seattle and Oakland are about 175, but no one even comes close to the 260 for SF. I guess you can argue that NYC's number is deflated based on the really poor areas, and the expensive areas are just as expensive (if not more) than SF.
