There's a tradeoff. For example, even people making low 6 figures are unlikely to ever own a house in (a decent part of) London unless they inherit it or win the lottery. A medium to small city is more economical for cost of living, with a decent proportion of the pay and lower costs of living.

Cities attract young people who don't mind renting, suburbs attract families who care more about buying their own houses.
- blueskin_ 13y agoPart of that is true, I guess - I'm temporarily renting, but family is definitely not in my future plans. Suburbs don't appeal to me, especially as I like going out, but neither does a prohibitively expensive city where I'll never do better than a flat.
