enlightened jew- NY isnt the most expensive. you havent done enough research…. I see you have not mentioned CA, specifically LA (1st big out of town frum community I thought of after NY, NJ and TX which you mentioned) … in LA no house can be found (even small ones) for 100,000…. not even 300,000… in the regular side of town it cant be found for 500,000… so what are you talking about with housing prices being “expensive” in NY???? And no, you dont get a pool with that money. those prices are for 2 bedroom nothings… apartments are also expensive. sales tax is almost 9%. income tax is also staggering. CA is a larger state than NY so “average state taxes ” are not that high but they arent charging the farms what they charge LA city! I know people who live there and it is troubling for them. It is way more expensive to live there than it is to live in NY. But if a person can move to a cheaper place, shouldnt they do that rather than collect money from the city? I am not forcing anyone out, but if someone can help themselves earn a decent living shouldnt they try to not be a collector??
