   A cousin of mine was once offered a high-profile job in New York.  I   
   think that the new job was double the money of her Toronto job.  If I   
   recall correctly, they were offering USD $128K instead of her current   
   CAD$63K.   
      
   She made the cover of Canada's newsmagazine (Macleans) for saying "It   
   was a good offer, but I would have to live in New York. Who would want   
   to live in New York?"   
      
   I suspect that California was both cheaper and less crowded than New   
   York.
