Ironically places where you have happily live without a car tend to be more expensive to live in. It's not just the moving costs; if you can't afford a car you probably also can't afford the rent in a place where you don't need a car.

Probably that has a lot to do with the fact (or my opinion) that places where you can live car-free are also much nicer places to live, thus more sought after. Although I base that mostly on myself I’m sure there is some research into it.

You would have to pay me to live in New York again

I think this is a reason a lot of people live in New York...

Sometimes people are like, 'Why'd you move back to New York?' And I was like, 'I don't know, I just really love the ambience and there's such a charm to the city, you know?

Nor is New York or Chicago a good place to move if you’re very poor, as the housing and cost of living are difficult to manage.
