I'm originally from NY. It makes paying rent here seem way less painful, its not comparable (and same with even just finding a place to live).

Where DC sucks compared to NY is going out. In NYC, theres bars every 2 feet, all competing with one another and trying to lure you in. You can find absurdly cheap drinks without really trying. I recently paid like $3 for basic mixed drinks in Manhattan. You can also find absurdly cheap food (dollar slices, random drunk food in general) without trying.

If I'm going out in DC, dinner is never that cheap, and the same go for drinks. Sure its a luxury to go out for these things, but people often don't consider this when moving here.
