[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^^Please speak for yourself. I'm from Los Angeles, and I could have easily chosen to relocate there after graduate school on the east coast. I chose to live in DC (proper), and I am very happy with that choice. The nature of my work does not confine me to this city.[/quote] PP does speak for herself. the point is that a lot of people (not me!) who live close to cities would be ok living much further if their jobs were not in cities. for this reason saying that expensive cities are a choice misses an important part of the issue.[/quote] Just because your job is in the city doesn't mean you have to live in the city. If you're one of the upper 5% earners and can afford it, great. I know many people who earn what is considered a good salary (say in the $80,000 to $120,000) range but have to live in the outskirts. In my last job in DC, a lot of people lived an hour away because that's what a middle-class salary allowed.[/quote]
