SF really has no low end on anything. There's no $1 pizza slice when you really need a cheap meal and there's nowhere cheap to live without a punishing commute

The high end of NY is also much higher than SF. NY is where the first $100M apartment is.
NY is as expensive on average but it's an average of a much wider and range.
- log_n 8y agoThere's an In-N-Out on the north side of SF and Chinatown has a ton of cheap eating options. You can eat for cheap in either city.
- Eire_Banshee 8y agoJust one in-n-out?
- habosa 8y agoYeah SF has only one In-N-Out and it's more expensive and crowded than any other location I've seen. SF strongly limits fast food (which I find annoying). My suburb home town had more McDonald's locations than SF does.
- Klonoar 8y ago"on the north side of SF" is really "over in Fisherman's Wharf", which is a notorious tourist trap that's not convenient to get to in the slightest. It can't be compared to a pizza slice joint or falafel or what have you. Chinatown, yes.
- thatfrenchguy 8y agoThere’s this thing, called a grocery store. I’ve even heard there is multiple of those in the city !
- Alex3917 8y ago> NY is where the first $100M apartment is. Most things being sold for more than 20M are probably being sold for money laundering purposes. A more fair comparison would be looking at only apartments that people actually live in full time; a pied-à-terre isn’t really part of basic living expenses.
