Sorry but I LOLed. I would&#x27;ve never believed you had I not made the same move, but in reverse. I lived in a good 2BR apartment in the best part of Manhattan downtown -- we even had a fireplace (but no fire escape...such is the situation with old Manhattan construction)...Now I live in Palo Alto. In a converted garage. And while it is technically a 1 bedroom, it is much, much more than what I paid for in New York. Quality of life is much worse in Palo Alto too.
