I simply don't trust that. I lived in New York for years, and have spent several weeks in Berlin.
Berlin is far cheaper than NYC. It is considered one of the cheapest big cities in Europe. And numbeo says that it is only 10% cheaper than NYC: http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/cpi_explained.jsp http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/cpi_explained.jsp
I find that the estimate on Expatistan seem much more reasonable:
http://www.expatistan.com/cost-of-living/comparison/berlin/new-york-city http://www.expatistan.com/cost-of-living/comparison/berlin/n...
Expatistan: NYC is 43% more expensive than Berlin
Perhaps this is because Expatistan provides more emphasis on the entertainment category?
p.s. Please don't use shortened links on HN.
