That is a good point, but those experiences can be had in other, much cheaper cities around the world. Why pick exactly the most expensive ones. The experiences can be had in most big cities I have been, the goods + services are getting there but i'm not personally not too driven by that but can see others might be. For all these things I can see your point, just not why pick the most expensive ones? And I guess it also has to do with the phase in your life; I value freedom above goods & services handy. The satisfying experiences I have in cities all over, also cheap as chips cities in Asia and cities & villages in Asia & Europe. For people making so much money it seems that freedom is within reach if only compromise on the place of living is made. But you make a good points; I made/make decisions based on those points as well at some times; just now I value freedom more than other things.
