Hehe. The advantage of a city life is that wages scale with cost of living as well. But cost of living is only a percentage of your expenses... Essentially the remaining percentage is usually significantly larger after your rent is taken out. It's a perk. That and being able to grab great tacos across the street, excellent indian food a half a block away, excellent thai food 2.5 blocks away and great pho 3 blocks away. I've got a wide range of bars to drink at all within 4 blocks... anything from dive bars to high-end cocktail bars... anything beyond that is a very short uber ride away.
I used to have a 1000 sq ft condo in Madison many years ago... I had a completely empty room I threw boxes in. It was a waste of space for me. I simply don't collect crap like other people seem to like to. What would I do with one of those 3000 sq foot mc mansions in the burbs? Stare at the empty rooms? It isn't how I want to live my life.
