Hey, big whoop, Brooklyn has the great distinction of being the second most expensive city in the US, just behind Manhattan across the river.

That just makes my day.

The  Council for Community & Economic Research, a Washington based group, are responsible for this particularly  favorable statistic. The survey was mostly based on housing.

Honolulu, San Francisco, San Jose, Queens and Stamford. Conn are the runner up cities. The Council ranked 300 American cities looking at food, transportation, utilities and prescription drugs.

Way to go, Brooklyn.
