Do you know Elko, NV? I have visited there several times for work. Nice little town.

This list does not appear accurate.  There's no way living in LA is more expensive than San Francisco.  Hell, it almost costs more to rent a PO Box in Frisco then an apartment in LA.

A few more trailer parks would bring the cost of living WAY down in all those cities.

Personally, I think that list is high on crack.  I went to law school in San Fran.  It's @#%$ing expensive.

I saw a list once that listed San Fran as the #1 most expensive  US city.  Honolulu was # 2.

You guys probably get it even worse than us here on Oahu.  At least for gas prices and food.   Gas seems to average about $2.20/gal for 87, unless you fill up near the refineries on the Leeward coast or at Costco.  Housing?  We just sold our 584 sq. ft. 1 br/bt condo apt for $300k.  It's within 15 mins walking to downtown Honolulu.  In exchange we're getting a single family home in suburbial east Oahu... 1500 sq. ft. 4 br/2 bth, 5000 sq. ft. lot.

For a little under $600k.

I think medians here for single family is around $430k.

I paid $178k for 3800sqft under A/C, 4500sqft under roof on a lake in a gated community within a golfcourse in 1999.  We border the everglades.  Just apppraised out at $475k.  scares the tar outta me how real estate has gone up here.  gas is at around $2.05 per gallon 87 oct.  I could sell it but then all I could afford was a beercan at one the "mfg home parks"  So we's a stayin'.

Funny, Miami is cheaper than Brussels....Must be Storch's nearby presence that devaluated real estate a lot

Do you know what was the real reason for the big bad wolf blowing down the 3 little pigs home? They moved into the nieborhood and lowerd all the property values...

Gas is about 2.00 - 2.50 here on the Big Island. It's rediculous. At costco its around 1.80 or something. 30 min drive from my house. BTW I'll probably be on Oahu in July.
