That’s a pretty big difference though! I suppose with NYC you don’t have the cost of owning and operating a car, though.

You can live car free in Seattle. It depends on who you work for and where they are, but it is doable. People carpool and such to go hiking and to events, and Lyft/Uber is pretty good.

I second this, as someone actually doing this thing. :) And with light rail extensions and transit expansions it's getting better all the time.
