^ this.

For instance, to have the same standard of living in Manhattan as you'd have in Philly for $51k, you'd need to earn $117k.

To have the same standard of living in Brooklyn as you'd have in Philly for $51k, you'd need to earn $85k.

If your perception of Philly is shaped by tiktoks and videos of Kensington, then it's time for you to get off of your computer or phone and actually visit Philly for at least a weekend and drive around the city. You'll discover that we have plenty of nice, safe, and affordable neighborhoods.
