swappin' out the pole for "28 Grand" micro apts

The answer is simple. NYC offers way more than Detroit and people recognize that and are willing to pay up. Hell why not ask why people don't choose Toledo over NYC? Even cheaper housing there....see my point?

I guess I should have clarified my comments, I just figured everyone would have omitted the overly obvious "there's a lot to do there" comment. The point wasn't to compare living in NYC to Wichita, because basically everywhere in this country has cheaper housing than NYC.

I wanted to look at cities with a comparable social/cosmopolitan standing. My point was you can live in Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, etc, at that price point, and get wayyyyyy more bang for your buck, and there's plenty of stuff to do in those cities too. Yes, I understand that there are cheaper options in NYC if you want to live in a trash can for $1200 a month, I'm just going with that price point.


And just so nobody bitches, I'll cite those comments with some legit info.
