City Living Around the Globe

     Paris, the city of love and all things, je n'ai said quoi, perfect. The neo-gothic architecture catches everyone's eye as they trot down cobble stone pathways that have been there for centuries. Every corner is marked with a cafe or patisserie, which makes the Parisian lifestyle even more enticing. However, this envious lifestyle is only available for those who can afford it. Paris has a very hefty price tag attached to its residential areas. A single bedroom apartment in the heart of Paris can cost as much as a four bedroom home here in San Diego.
     London is no exception either. From the beginning of history, London has always been famous for it's bustling city life. It is home to landmarks that represent defining moments in history, and is now a highly metropolitan sought after city. So what do you pay to live in the same city as Price William and his royal gang? One answer suffices: too much. But for those who can afford the city, it is magical, almost like a dream, except for the bitter weather of course. However, the rest of Europe is at you finger tips so a warm trip to Italy wouldn't hurt.
    New York is home to some of the most desirable flats and town homes  in the States. Alicia keys and hundreds of other singers have belted out their love for the city. However, is the cost of living praise worthy? Shows such as Selling New York depict homeowners buying and selling their Manhattan penthouses for millions of dollars.
     I actually have no point to this post. I just wanted to revel in three of the most beautiful, expensive, and luxurious cities in the world.
