Didn't read whole thing but... From what I understand a lot of people live outside of NYC but still work there. I guess they take a bus or get there some other way. If you want to live there you're gonna pay out the ass. Sure you could drive/walk to work if you did and it wouldn't take long but that's a luxury. Most the crap they list is just a luxury a lot of people want but don't have. They should be glad they can afford most of that crap.
