True. So if you can afford Cleveland, you should be able to afford the Bronx?

Yes, and factor into account that you don't need a car in the Bronx because its transit system is more effective than RTA. Compare Cleveland or Cincinnati rent+car to rent alone in Bronx/Yonkers or Newark to get the real cost.

All of Ohio's larger cities have apartments for considerably less than that, including conveniently located ones.

You don't need a car depending on where you live. You can live in or near a gentrifying neighborhood in Cincinatti for less than 800 and just walk to work or use public transit. Ubers as well.

Only rent in those cities' nicest neighborhoods is comparable to the Bronx or Newark. Any working class/lower class neighborhood is going to have a huge drop in rent - like studios for $400/month.

For sales, $300k gets you a 3 BR single family house in a desirable middle class neighborhood in any one of Ohio's major cities. $300k can only get you a condo in the Bronx.

Exactly. Bottom end Bronx ranks compare to high end Ohio rents.

Are they all foreclosures?

Anyway, just look at the prices of Ohio cities for yourself, much cheaper than The Bronx overall.

You can rent an apartment in a decent part of Cleveland for $600, and in a small Ohio town for $400.
