The world’s most expensive cities

A report by UBS ranks 71 world cities according to cost of living. Europe has the most on the list, thanks in part to a weak dollar; the continent had 15 of the top 25 most expensive cities, including London, the most expensive. The United States had four cities on the list, all within the top 25: New York (2), Chicago (9), LA (10), and Miami (22).

Rent comprises the largest portion of living expenses for each city; many of the readers of this blog probably have heard horror stories about rent per square foot in either of the top two cities.
