https://www.bestplaces.net/cost-of-living/dallas-tx/new-york-ny/70000 https://www.bestplaces.net/cost-of-living/dallas-tx/new-york... Food is 17% more expensive. It's harder to get delivery trucks through, more trucks have to get to the city, fuel is more expensive, etc. Sure a metro card is cheaper in terms of direct cost but you've sacrificed commute time and time really is money. If it takes you an extra 30 minutes to commute home via metro, that's less time to be with your kids or prepare (cheap) food.
