<p>Probably San Francisco and New York City. Atlanta may be the best bargain for a wealthy, highly educated city. Boston is also expensive, as is Honolulu.</p>

<p>Not surprised my hometown topped the list… Honestly, nothing is EVER free unless it’s some kind of religious flyer. Even then, they want donations for their religion/cult whatever. And even the beggars glare at you if you give less than a dollar.</p>

<p>^ How did you come up with those lists?</p>

<p>If you live in one of five metro areas in the continental U.S. – NYC, Boston, Wash. DC, San Francisco, L.A. – the cost of living is horrendous, mainly because of housing and/or taxes. Anyplace else is relatively manageable.</p>
