So you want to move to New York?

So you want to move to New York, the city of dreams? Well make sure you know how much it costs to live in the city of Bright Lights (this one is for you Maya, lol). The cost of living calculator from CNN tells you how much more or less it will cost you to live in a new location compared to your current location. Check the Dispatch’s article
You’ll be glad you live in Columbus when you use the CNN Cost of Living Calculator. Cost of Living Calculator
Cost of living is way more than the cost of housing of course there’s cost of food, health care, transportation…
After reading a friends post about a one bedroom, 2 bath co-op in New York City being worth $600,000 and $740,000 a day or so ago I really, really had to look at NYC. I looked at Queens or Brooklyn first and the sticker shock was not that bad, it was not as expensive as LA (for some reason LA was the first place I compared Columbus to…) then I looked at Manhattan.
Compare to cities nearby and far away. Columbus is darn reasonable for the size of the city.
Thanks to Agent Genius for the info… Agent Genius has writers from all over the US but the people who started it are in Austin TX which just beat Columbus out of 15th largest city in the US, not because Columbus is NOT growing but because Austin is growing faster… across the board cost of living is slightly lower in Austin than in Columbus… drat…
