We're number one! We're number one!
I'm a little surprised Boston wasn't higher, too.
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Fresno? That's a surprise.
And Bakersfield is even higher. Your paycheck goes farther in LA than Bakersfield?

And 8 of those cities are in CA. I'm a little surprised that DC isn't there.

The eternal "we're just kids in high school" band, Def Leppard, is on Regis and Kelly right now.
They are finally OLD!
I don't know why I find this amusing, but I do.

I think they're comparing income to cost of living, no? So even if it's not expensive to live in Bakersfield, you can't make any money there, either.

What Jesse said. Bakersfield is just a big flat nothing in the middle of the desert. If you're a teenager about to enter the job market in Bakersfield, your best bet is probably to move the hell away from there.

Baltimore mitigates the effects a little? I dunno. It's weird.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I wonder if they factor in the cost of owning a car into their calculations. None of the NYistas own a car, and it's a substantial savings.

That's a good point, Tom -- when a friend of mine was leaving NYC, we figured that her base costs for living weren't going to go down all that much, because she was going to have to get a car.

Would it? I mean I thought the list assumed you worked in the city and lived in the city. So living in Balto and working in DC wouldn't count.
