Slavvy posted:LA is cheaper though. It is actually more surprising LA is so high on the list, it wasn't considered one of the most expensive US cities (compared to NYC, SF and later DC) for a while. For a long time LA was considered pretty cheap because it was so huge and had a ton of suburbs and considerable urban blight in its center, especially after the 1992 riots. I guess the funny thing I heard Auckland is more or less the LA of New Zealand, concrete and subdivisions. Ardennes fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Jan 19, 2015 |

dusty posted:US housing is really cheap. Just watch any diy show from the states - people can buy a 4 bedroom house just off sunset boulevard for $450k USD. So how much if a 3 bedroom house in good shape in a decent neighborhood in Auckland?

dusty posted:About a million NZD (800k USD) for a 3 bedroom in a middle class suburb Yeah thats quite a bit more than LA (I would say 400-600k), what is a common wage for a service industry job in NZ? If anything that seems pretty comparable to DC/NYC/SF but Auckland is part of a considerably smaller metro area. I know there was quite a bit talk among Americans about moving to NZ because it is "pretty and liberal" but seems like there is more going on then they think.
