It's because we're really really ridiculously good looking, and the abundance of women in these cities know that we're not just looking for friendship.

Stupid is a strong word. Not everyone works in finance.

If you're in tech, you should go to silicon valley. If you're an actor, you should go to LA, if you like elderly women, you should go to Florida, etc.

Few people are optimizers; most avoid making changes or taking risks.

Thanks everyone for your responses--pretty helpful fodder.

On the tax note, my current state tax is around 10% so NYC won't be that dramatic of a change. We do not have a sales tax however. Hike in base of 25% would get me to $110K so thats what I will be targeting.

I don't mind scaling back my standard of living but I don't want to eat into my savings either.
