I consider both cities to be near equal on cost of living. - What is this based on?
NYC Advantages:
50% additional income for doing same exact job And 50% greater housing expense
Are you looking for a similar living situation or are you willing to go down to less sq ft?
Ny is more expensive in virtually every aspect from my experience.
I myself prefer a walkable city like NY, but having grown up in CA there is no denying it is a far better monetary value. If the non-monetary positives of NY are enough for you then go for it, otherwise is you're looking for just the best value then CA will give you much more of that.
