Top Expensive Cities

3 months ago · < 1 minute read

Cost of living is increasing everywhere, but if you live in SoCal (like I do), you’ve probably been eyeing the rise of housing costs with dismay. That may be because we have three of the five most expensive cities in the United States. Los Angeles? Number two. Coming in at most expensive in the nation? San Diego, of course. 

But let’s say you’re thinking about moving. With more and more opportunities to work remotely, more people than ever can live anywhere with their jobs. Sometimes they’re known as digital nomads. There are plenty of cheaper places to live (I spent a year in Bali living it up), but there are some serious competitors for San Diego even abroad. Singapore, Shanghai, and Hong Kong are even more costly than Southern California. They might be nice places to visit, but if you want to fatten up your wallet, they probably aren’t great places to put down roots.
