Why are Scottsdale and Boulder on this list? True, they are both more exspensive places to live than Phoenix and Denver respectivly, but that doesn't make them exclusive cities like NYC, LA, etc. By adding them you also need to add Bellevue Washington, Pasadena California, Bethesda Maryland, and Boca Raton Florida to the list as well. Scottsdale and Boulder - expensive by region and design, a slight bargain when compared to some of the others that you have listed.
I don't think there is much debate that New York City is the most expensive on the list though. I would imagine that not far behind would be LA and SD. I've only heard second hand about SD real estate, but I know from being a prior resident, you better making the serious bucks to be able to afford even a simple upper middle class neighborhood. I've actually seen a 2 bed, 1 bath "hut" with no yard, bad neighborhood, and low performing schools sell for over 700K! That was a few years back, and if memory serves me right, it actually was bought and a tear down was put in it's place. That's LA for you though....
also NYC encompasses alot more area with a lot more "cheaper" areas to live in
SF is expensive all around
Then find proof that San Francisco is more expensive when clearly every sort of list there is shows that New York is most expensive. Are you disagreeing with economists? I've experienced both and yes there are some cheap housing (by NY standard) right in the middle of San Francisco.
NYC is the only United States city that's in the World's Top 50.
Thinking has nothing to do with it. Scientific studies prove that New York City is the most expensive city in the USA and one of the most expensive in the world. One such study's results:
I have trouble believing Jakarta or J-buuurg are more expensive than San Fran. Actually, I have trouble believing Chicago, LA, and Miami are more expensive than SF.

Well believe it because it's true.
Cost of living in the United States is much cheaper than abroad, for one.
