Even if you're living in the outer boroughs, or Jersey City, you're still probably paying more for what you get than you would if you lived in just about any other US city. I grew up in NY and lived there for 30 years, and when I look at rents in other cities I'm just dumbfounded how much cheaper it is. I'm in a very nice area of LA (still supposedly top 10 for cost) and I pay about 1/3 of what I would in Manhattan or Brooklyn for an equivalent place - and I commute less than 15 minutes to boot.
