No comment. (Except: a surprise in the list at the bottom of the post.)

In case the link is broken (this is just too good to lose):

Here's a reason to stop complaining about the rent on your New York apartment.

According to apartment-finding website Apartment Guide, Williston, North Dakota, an oil town that's seen explosive growth in the last few years, was the most expensive place in the country to rent an entry-level apartment.

The company looked at the average cheapest rent price for every town in the U.S. on December 31, 2013, meaning it took the price of each apartment community's least expensive floor plan and averaged them for each Core Based Statistical Area (CBSA).

According to Apartment Guide, a 700 square-foot, one bedroom apartment in Williston can cost upwards of $2,000 a month — more than many apartments in New York or San Francisco.

These 10 cities topped the list, with average monthly rents for entry-level apartments:

10. Santa Barbara - Santa Maria - Goleta, CA: $1,346
9. Oxnard - Thousand Oaks - Ventura, CA: $1,387
8. Los Angeles - Long Beach - Santa Ana, CA: $1,411
7. New York - Northern New Jersey - Long Island, NY - NJ - PA: $1,504
6. Boston - Cambridge - Quincy, MA - NH: $1,537
5. Key West, FL: $1,640
4. Dickinson, ND: $1,733
3. San Francisco - Oakland -Fremont, CA: $1,776
2. San Jose - Sunnyvale - Santa Clara, CA: $1,881
1. Williston, ND: $2,394 

I have lived in, visited, have fond memories of, or somehow connected with each city in the list above, except for one, Key West, Florida.
