I think most of California owes Davis an apology.

I definitely agree about the apology to Davis.

Republican Governor?

Perhaps in an alternate universe.

Frankly, I owe Gray Davis a dozen roses, box of chocolates and big fat apology.

@Victoria — according to the article, NYC still came in fourth, but its very high cost of living was somewhat offset by its very high salaries. I’m sure all those Wall Stree bonuses helped!

@UA — I think you may be oversimplifying things a bit, based on an existing frame. If the pols were largely responsible for salaries and living (including housing) costs, then surely Republican Governor Schwarzenegger could have fixed things in Los Angeles by now.

My guess would be having a succession of Democratic tax and spend mayors for the last 8 years.

How did we get more expensive than NYC?

Not a list I’m particularly pleased to be at the top of. On the other hand, I’m sure as hell not moving to Cleveland in order to move down on the list. Life is often about compromise.
