TweetNO WAY ITS BAD ENOUGH DRIVING IN CHICAGO
TweetIt would be my dream to live in NYC.. doesn`t have to be right in the city (although) I`d like to live somewhere in Manhattan 5th Ave. area.. but if not there, then somewhere where I can get to NYC fast.. some better NY areas i.e Queens, Bronx (I`ll leave out Harlem to 50 cent).
I don`t think many people can`t afford to live in NYC and we all know why..everything is expensive - housing the most.
I`m already living in Boston, probably the 2nd most expensive city in the country after NY but I don`t know I`m in love with NYC - everything is right there.
Just saw on TV 3 US cities that have the most expensive houses for (normal folks) not including millionaires etc..
1.) Boston
2.) Honolulu
3.) Los Angeles
Where do you guys live..

TweetAbsolutely Not. To much traffic, and not enough pretty women.
TweetFirst, hell no! I would never want to live in NYC. Second, that list of most expensive cities is only considering large cities. I live in Colorado and in Aspen, NOTHING changes hands for less than a mill, nothing. That's the most expensive place to live IMO. Boston may be expensive, but I guarantee the average house costs less than Aspen. Hell, there are million dollar manufactured homes in Aspen, that's right, trailers!!!!
I just ran a comparison and if you made 100k in Boston, you would need 147,753 to live in Vail. There is no Aspen option. So, Vail is even more expensive than Boston. I also compared Boston to San Diego adn the averge home in Boston is 418,500, while the average home in San Diego is 605,600.
I don't think Boston has the most expensive homes. What study are you getting that from? The only reason I ask is because I'm a Real Estate Appraiser and I never heard that before.

TweetOk, I see where you got that. What the study says is that the average cost home for the average income is higher in Boston than other cities. Basically, people in Boston don't make enough to live in Boston. However, people in NYC, San Fran, etc. just make more money. It's not that the houses are more expensive, but the average income is too low to support housing costs. This is a receipe for disaster. Not to mention Mass had more people move away than move to last year. If this continues there will be a crash in the housing market. It's all about supply and demand and when people quit buying the prices will drop. Trust me, it's what I do for a living. It happened here. Too many builders and too many homes and next thing you know, there was no appreciaiton for a year because of the surplus in homes.
Tweett-man he might mean boston has the most # of expensive houses..and not the average price of the homes.

Tweetand why is everyone hating on NYC haha..

TweetALABAMA IS WAAAAY CHEAPER!! YOU CAN BUY MORE TOYS LIVING HERE!!
TweetI did misunderstand what he was saying, but I found what he was talking about. It was the ratio between home $$ and income. Making the Boston housing market the most expensive when compared to the Boston income. Based on averages. But yeah, I wouldn't be surprised one bit as to a large number of expensive homes. Just imagine, what would you pay for a 200 year old home with the original woodwork and in excellent condition? Man, I would love to see a home like that. That's one thing about Boston, you can't put a price tag on history and that city is full of history.Originally Posted by solidground
