If saving money is your top priority, stay out of NYC. Move to Springfield, Memphis, or Wichita Falls.

If you enjoy certain characteristics of urban living -- dense, progressive, diverse, bustling -- NYC is peerless.

Plenty of cities have these characteristics that have a much lower cost of living than NYC.

I love NYC. It's a great city, probably the greatest city on earth, but there are plenty of other options out there.

Those traits are no more boolean than cost.
