Raleigh is the most affordable city to live in, although Austin's not that bad. Reston seems too wealthy, and Manhattan is Manhattan.

Yeah, if I had no economical problems (lol), Manhattan would definitely be an attractive option.

It depends how much the job pays. Manhattan would be great if the pay were 200k per year.

Another possibility is living in Brooklyn and commuting to Manhattan. What do NYers think of the subway in terms of speed, reliability, etc.?

Brooklyn has now achieved the distinction of surpassing San Francisco as having the highest ratio of housing prices to personal income levels in the nation. Yes, SF housing is more expensive then Brooklyn, but then so are income levels by a even greater factor. That is one reason that Brooklynites are now moving in large numbers to the Hudson Valley. It seems as if maybe half of the newbies in Hudson, NY are from Brooklyn these days. Hudson itself seems to be approaching housing bubble levels. It seems that housing prices have close to doubled (up 50% at least) in the 4 year period that Hudson has been on my radar screen.

It's fine (lived there a few years), and the same goes for Queens and Jersey City. I still think Manhattan, if affordable, is unbeatable, however.

From an outside perspective Williamsburg might not be too bad if the rent is reasonable.
