My commute is more like 20 minutes (on public transportation), and my apartment is closer to 1000 sq ft.
But even if it was, I can go to a different restaurant every night for years without ever repeating myself. Any given day, I have a choice of hundreds of events and museums, and any given night I have a choice of hundreds of concerts and parties.
The cost of living is a trade off I'm happy to make. I can afford it, we make more money here.
But not more wealth..so your content living in a little apparment making more money when 24/7 I can go fishing on my dock. Or hunting deer out my front door?
Once again people from the city rent out two $800 dollar a night homes down the street from me to spend 7 days..
I live where city folk spend a week to vacation ..
And I live it 24/7...
...and I live where country folks spend their vacations. I don't know any kids who grow up in the city who beg for vacations to East Bumblefuck.
And yes - we've got most of the "wealth", too.
Funny I see all the state license plates at work...and all the cars going to Myrtle Beach and rich ass Hilton Head..
Who the heck takes a vacation to Vermont even in the summer, for what ?

I don't live in Vermont. I own a house there, and that's where I'm going to retire to - but right now, I live in Washington DC.
Before that, I lived in Oakland. Before that, San Francisco. Before that, Brooklyn.
All huge tourist destinations. If you have kids, I'm sure they've begged you to take them to one, if not all of those places.
Huh?
Brooklyn?
No Dodger's
San Francisco?
Why would anyone go there? For what to get girls pumps in a size 13 shoe at the local 7/11 store , sounds gay to me..
Oakland? The only people that go there is to commit suicide off the golden gate bridge..
The Smithsonian?
You can go to Chicago and see the same things..
I used to work in San Fran, beautiful city, some of the best seafood ever. Sad though, there was a place called the Eagle's Nest on pier 39, they turned it into a tourist trap. Oh, the GG bridge does not go to Oakland. It spans San Francisco & Marin County.
