Today's video is a companion piece to my previous video, "Affordable Cities: 10 US Metro Areas With Underrated Livability, Walkability and Transit." Like that video, this one approaches the question, "Which city should I move to?" but does it from the opposite direction! I've talked about affordable cities that have great walkability, useful transit, and high-level urban amenities, but what about expensive cities that have the opposite of all those things?

I discuss how to think about whether a city is expensive or not, and some of the things that might offset expensive rent or a big mortgage: transit and walkability that mean you spend significantly less on a car, cultural amenities that mean you need to spend less on travel to more cosmopolitan cities, weather that means you spend less on travel to tropical winter destinations.

This is CityNerd's guide to the ten most overrated cities to live in the U.S. Your results may vary, so let me know what you think I overrated or underrated down in the comments!
