I would feel so home in New York (with exception of prices for basic
living.)
I was looking some aprtments there some time back, and I was only $1.5M
short. (Though it was in Roosevelt Island)
Staten Island was a lot more affordable, and it is only a free ferry ride
away from Manhattan (where there is no need for car). Even if with car
parking there is only $7/24h, right next to ferry landing.
