Rent in NYC is and always has been (and will be) expensive. This is what happens when a city is special and has hard limits on real-estate. Other examples include HK, the entire Holland, Singapore, etc.

Now speaking of NYC, I've temporarily returned to NYC and I am absolutely shocked by how expensive food (and most other things) have become. When I left NYC, only rent and labor was more expensive than Canada. Everything else was much cheaper. Now I find that almost every one of day-to-day items is 50% more expensive than Toronto. And Toronto is not known for being a cheap city.

Other surprises (which really shouldn't be, but I had forgotten about them) include how different the food in the US is from Canada. *Everything* is so much more sugary and salty than in Canada. My morning toast (which is supposed to be healthy 12 grain etc etc) tastes like candy. I have to go my old baker to get bread I can eat. The chips and junk food are too salty to eat. No wonder so many Americans have health issues.
