NYC
Bay Area
LA
Seattle
The Bay Area and LA are a bit less clear cut. I live in one of those cities, grew up in another, and have worked long contracts in the other two.

Generally for the same space with similar amenities, I found the Bay Area (specifically SF and Berkeley though) much closer to LA (downtown-ish areas and westside) than NYC (Manhattan, western third of Queens, North and Northwest Brooklyn). I never had to scout for rent in Seattle, but from what I know from friends, it should be lower than the other three. |

I would also say NY, SF, LA, Seattle.
I lived in Seattle and now Los Angeles and Seattle was definately cheaper. One thing I find cheaper in LA than all three is public transportation. Subway and light rail rides are $1.50. Parking at subway and light rail stops where available is free. Culver City and Santa Monica Big Blue Bus fares are only $1.00.
