In most cities people can find much cheaper places to live within commuting distance. Cities can't support themselves when people are totally priced out.
For example, I know someone who lives in Bushwick, Brooklyn and pays <600/month (with roommates), and another in a studio for 1200/month. Bushwick is about 30 minutes from Soho by subway.

- dangrover 14y agoI second this. I was in Bushwick when I lived in NYC. I saw 1-bedrooms going for 1200. I moved to the UES after that, and found that the Manhattan tax really isn't worth it.
