Who lives in any of these cities?

I live in Los Angeles on the fashionable West Side near the beach, and I also have a house in Palm Springs. I guess that according to you, I must be wealthy, but I never thought of myself that way. However, we did buy a house in 2009 when the market was down, and now it is worth more than twice what we paid for it. One good thing - because of the mild weather, utilities are very low because we need almost no heating and very little A/C. I do not own winter clothes and wear shorts most of the year. I am also retired, and that makes it even better, as I can avoid driving in traffic.

Luis Black jokes that San Diego weathermen have the easiest job. "Today the weather is gonna be nice. Tomorrow its gonna be nice. And next week its gonna be... Nice." 😅

Brentwood, Tennessee (just south of Nashville) has housing costs that are 58% above the national average. Cost of living is lower than the national average so I guess it makes up for it. I don't understand why it is so expensive to buy a home here.

Houses in the Marble Hill, Manhattan neighborhood are pretty affordable for NYC standards. The only problem is that it's now located in the Bronx thanks to the Harlem Canal making it an island and then eventually landfill physically attaching it the Bronx.

Well when it comes to places like NYC. Remember, if many people want to live in NYC, a city with limited space. Then the prices will go up because of the demand. This is absolutely logical. If you do not have a sufficient education to buy yourself a good apartment then move to a smaller city.

Beautiful tho and very close to so many cool things: SF, Napa/Sonoma, Santa Cruz (and it's mountains), Pacifica, Halfmoon bay and other small beachtowns, Monterey, Carmel, Big Sur, 3 International airports, North Bay with all it's hidden gems. Tons of hiking, camping, swimming, boating, etc. Tahoe, Yosemite and the rest of the Sierra's not too far either. AMAZING job market with probably the highest wages in America (along with the rest of the Bay) .... San Jose is on the up-tick and I don't see it slowing down any time soon.

I really enjoyed this one. All of those cities look gorgeous.

I sure do appreciate your channel. Thanks so much for doing what you do! : )

Hello Mr.Briggs, if I had to live in anyone of these cities or the metro area it would be Miami. First I’m a Miami dolphins fan, second I love mild winters, I adore the mix of cultures from the Caribbean, central and Latin America, and being in FL no income tax(yes I know other aspects of of cost of living will play a role). If I were making the income to live decently in Miami, out of the cities listed this would be the one I would do.

Looking good Briggs!!! None of these cities are any surprise. Just for grins, I checked apartment rental prices in Aspen, Co. The only one that I saw was a 2br/1ba for $10,000/mo. Insanity!!! Maybe I'm dense, but I don't see any valid reason for all of these cities to be as expensive as they are.

Born and raised in San Francisco. Back in the 60's and 70's, SF was one of the cheapest major cities. It was a working-class city. Hearing what it has become, is like falling into the Twilight Zone. I just can't wrap my head around it.

I moved to San Francisco in 1972, and I agree that it was relatively cheap back then - at least for rent. However, buying real estate was still fairly expensive, depending on the neighborhood, and I never wanted to live in the avenues. I left SF at the end of 1984 and now only go back to visit.

Kudos to you for shedding those pounds. Keep going and don’t stop. It’s the way to stay young.

For being really wealthy none of these places really entice me. Well, living in an island like Hawaii sounds idyllic.

Is it just a coincidence that an ad for a local realtor came with this video when I watched it?

Many people living in SF are low income housing, living in shelters, couch surfing or homeless.

Regarding parking in NYC: The very wealthy who own multi-million dollar apartments have underground /valet parking. That costs them an extra few thousand dollars a month as part of their "maintenance."

Some of these places seem like bargains! Greetings from Vancouver, Canada.

Your number one was a real “ shocker”

I grew up in Los Angeles (just North of it) and still have family there so visit at least twice a year. You mentioned celebrities you need to define that. Do you run into A listers often, nope but I have, but you do run into TV sitcom celebs (2 went to my high school when i went many years ago), newscasters, and lesser known actors, and reality stars quite a bit. Here a couple of my experiences. A long time ago i went to see a movie in Westwood and Mimi Rogers sat next to me and Tom Cruise next to her. Another time about 5 years ago family picked me up at airport and on way home we ate at Jerry’s Famous Deli and Matthew Broderick was seated in booth next to us. There are some certain higher end but casual/low key delis and seafood markets that if you go to on a regular basis you will definitely see celebrities, sometimes more than one and of course you will see in the airport and the nicer shopping malls.

Total tax burden in MA is 20th. It's really not as high as most people think. Boston is absolutely ridiculous. Lived there for a few years. It's one of the nicer big cities, but the expense was brutal.

Maybe I'm being dumb, but I don't get these % above the national average prices for housing. How is Seattle over 200% the national average but Aspen only 160% when their average housing costs 3x that in Seattle?? Are these housing costs adjusted for the average income in each city?
