Zurich is World's Costliest City, The Wall Street Journal

The updated data from the Economist Intelligence Unit states that Zurich is now the costliest city in the world to live in. For Americans (especially those who have lived in a big city or have relatives living in a major city), the first reaction to this data is mild surprise that there are cities more costly than our own domestic models of high cost living (New York City, San Francisco, Washington D.C. etc.)

This article, however, states that North American cities do not even break the top ten on this list. Zurich and Tokyo are almost twice as costly to live in as NYC (180%). The costliest cities are now largely located in East Asia and Europe.
