Generalizations like Europe is more expensive than the US make no sense. Where in Europe, where in the US ? There is quite a difference between cost of living in London, Paris and Munich already, and the cost of living in the Bay Area is not the same as Austin.
Even within a given country, the cost of living is very spread out (London and Paris are extremely expensive compared to the average of their respective country for example).
- dennisgorelik 15y agoNothing stops you from comparing Austin, TX to Munich, Germany and San Francisco vs London/Paris.
- cdavid 15y agoIndeed. The point being that comparing cities is much more relevant than countries. It has also the nice property to avoid too much country-bias.
- nasmorn 15y agoFunny, I (as an Austrian) am used to hearing that Munich is one of the most expensive cities in Germany.
