He's working on a list of Swiss cheese links next.

In related news, here's an article about a new report on the cost and standard of living in NYC, and it's kind of shocking, and makes me think I should move. (Although the headline is crap.) [link]

Seriously. I know things here in SF are expensive, but from the price of lattes to utilities to income taxes, there are many things that are noticeably cheaper than NY.

I can do that! It will suck, and make me worry about infection, but I can do it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Right?? Anyway, my own personal rent is cheap for NYC and reasonable for any expensive city, so I'm doing fine. But still.

DIBS!!!

Tall lattes are $1 cheaper here.

People have told me to estimate $30 for utilities for a studio/1 br (that's electricity and gas). Versus about $50 or so in NY.

There are no county or city income taxes.

I know! It cracks me up when people complain about the taxes here.
