WHAT? Find any statistical based article that finds the cost of consumer prices in NY comparable to any but a handful of urban centers in this country! You are confusing the cost of visiting a city with the cost of living in a city. Visiting is going to be higher but the cost of rent especially in New York (and as stated a few other urban areas) is a good percentage points higher than most of the United States. Just compare a one bedroom (and never mind about the square footage) in most cities to anywhere in NYC. Food is a bit more equal but usually more inexpensive out of town The same with clothing and other good(normal price often equivalent to a good sale price in NY) We have a slight advantage in transportation if one uses public transportation (as one does in Manhattan) but if one uses a car (as is often the case in the other boroughs, that advantage evaporates.) And we may not pay full price on theater tickets but what we do pay is often the equivalent of a full price ticket for a professional show out of town.
