<prompt> Human: Im considering taking a job in a different city with what I expect is a significantly higher cost of living. Ive looked at several websites that have tools to compare cost of living between cities, and the results have been all over the place. Is there a consensus on which is the best tool for these comparisons? Thanks!Assistant: I always use this:enter the 2 citiesHuman: Thanks much. Seems like a good tool. Unfortunately, it doesnt have any of the towns Im looking at north of NYCYonkers. Im most interested in the small towns around the Spring ValleyNyackSleepy HollowChappaqua area. I think they are too small to have enough data.  <response>: Will you be commuting into NYC? Most of the calculators do not account for the cost of commuting. The Metro-North Railroad monthly is more than 300 from Tarrytown. if you have two commuters working in Manhattan, its cheaper to live in Queens because the local rents in places like Sleepy Hollow are lower, but not enough to make up for the cost of the MNR pass. If you are a 1-commuter family, its a very close call financially, but still tips towards Queens being the more economical option, because in the Hudson Valley youll need at least one, and probably two, cars per family.COL calculators should have White Plains or Poughkeepsie, which are near enough.
