其實很難比較 假設要租房
在紐約五萬美金幾乎一定得住在城外 除非有住房的補助 或是很久以前就開始住紐約的
那種
台北市房租也很貴 但是相對紐約好的多
但是如果你願意住城外 你犧牲了一些城市的便利和各樣的活動 那五萬美金的收入實際
購買力(考慮到物價)還是超過五十萬新台幣一年的

To laocai:
(1) As for your original question, please recall purchase power parity (PPP)
of US is about 2.5 times of that in Taiwan, according to calculation I have
from CIA World Factbook over the years. So, $50,000 in US is about $20,000
in Taiwan. However, your question is about City of New York. I know of no

paragraph 1 of your posting)--by instinct, without resorting to mathematics-
- soon after I came to United States. But that was mid-1980s.
