Brooklyn has got to be, the most expensive place in the metro area (I've
worked there for 14 years.) Matter of fact, I hate it when I forget to
stock up on gas, and realize I have to pay 30% compared to suburban
Joisy--my sweet abode. Everything in NYC is a rage; the parking tickets,
the taxes, the food, the drinks-every friggin item. No wonder our Joisy
malls are full of NYC desesperados. They invaded Hoboken, and now
Hoboken is a another traffic infested jungle like NYC, with the prices
of apartments and food through the roof.

Good thing is that most of those people are usually single, liberal,
have a yuppie minded mentality, cheapos (my mouth drops when I see them
take out their calculators to divide up a 19.95 bill between 4 people)
that would rather give their money to a slum lord, rather than buy a
house (investment.)At least suburban Joisy is safe for now.
