I can only speak for NYC having lived there. I paid $1100 for an apartment on Avenue C in the East Village. In Paris, for a comparable area, I'd be hard pressed to find the same space for less than €1000 per month in an area like say, Belleville. Having said that, in NYC, I was making about $60K. In Paris, I make about 30K€.

Wow. It's quite possible to make more than 60K in Berlin (in Euro's) while paying around 400-500 for an apartment. Crazy how much difference there is between cities.
