Cost of living in NY is high as hell, but that's to be expected with everything that the city has to offer.
name them and weigh their importance to the typical individual
I'm talking career wise. The best of the best come to NYC to pratice their craft. Or they come here to start or further their careers.

NYC is actually a good deal compared to other cities on their level. Prices in San Fran and Boston are similiar and those cities aren't on ny's level.
You can't compare NYC to other American cities. Its a global city, compare it to places like London and tokyo and it looks pretty affordable

To get a nice apartment up here (that's not in the hood) for one person is gonna cost you way more than down south. I was looking for spots around philly and the average starting price was like 850$ for a one bedroom apartment
I looked at several places down south where the price was like 500-700$ that were actually nice
If you think 850 is expensive then the east coast isn't for you
850 for a nice place in the middle of the worlds most powerful economic region is a steal
There's a reason why the south is cheap

Holmdel New Jersey has got to be the dumbest fukking town i have ever been too..........u cant make legal left turns anywhere 
..........
getting to the northbound side of the Jersey turnpike (or whatever highway that was) was like a search for gold.......
fukking dumb ass signs had us going into incoming traffic.....getting on wrong highways and all that shyt.........
then u get off the next exit to try to turn around and guess what...........A fukkING TOLL!
Then you try to find the northbound lane again only to find another fukking sign pointing u to the wrong direction........

People up here pay for shyt.. and take it with a smile. My last apartment was a 2 bedroom for 1200.00. 1/2 the outlets didn't work, we was sharing the fukking meter with the people living in the basement and the parking situation was fukked up.
These grimey b*stards love to convert 1 family houses into 2 and 3 family spots.
I can't wait to leave the fukking state
$850 is expensive bruh. Even in the 5 boroughs, median household income is only $49K. Then you have to add $100/mo for everyone to travel (at the minimum). And that $850 will prob only be an apt for 1 person. You take Manhattan out, net income is even lower. You act like everyone in the city is some fast paced executive or creative dynamo. Not really the case bruh.
I've been in NYC all my life and have a real love hate relationship with it. For where I am in my life now (ready to start a family + settle down) I'm not with it. And its changed a lot since I've been here, for the worse for what I want. But if you are young, single, smart and have some means of getting around the city besides the train (bike or motorcycle IMO) its pretty good.
The bad is def the weather... we get the heat + moisture from the Caribbean (while the West Coast gets the cold + dryness from up north), and the winters are correspondingly brutal. Also damn near impossible to get to any nature w/o wheels, beaches are all a good 2 or so hours away, anything close is crowded as fukk. Etc. There are ways you have to play the city now that make it a lot less versatile + affordable than it used to be, but if you can manage its still pretty good.
I am trying to get the fukk out though. I need a house and some trees.
Not all fields, doggie.
For fashion, marketing and any media related fields then yes I agree with you about NYC. Also if you are an entrepreneur of some sort then yes a large metropolis like NYC is a good place to start if you know what you are doing.
BUT
As an examople If you work in the technology or engineering fields TX, GA, NC, WA have been in the lead for years. A lot of large companies tend to avoid cities like NYC because of the cost of liveing and what they will have to pay employees. They treat NY like a place to do business but any employees they have to have there is more of a burden to them.
