Sure, (I live in ultra-expensive NYC because of economic opportunity) but you can still a) compromise on the type/size/cost of housing you choose within the city; b) carpool or commute by bike or transit if you're concerned about the environment; and c) cut back on the other expenses that the hypothetical family in the article is being anything but frugal about.
- havetocharge 9y agoThis is a great point. It's easy to just classify NYC as expensive, but the truth is that there's a great deal of range in living costs in NYC area, including outside of the strict definition of NYC proper, while still maintaining reasonable commute times.
