NYPD: bad pay, expensive city [Archive] - TribalWar Forums

Not sure which is correct.

Those are wron

I think as said before that cost of living is an important factor.

The place I live in would be a 3 mil dollar apartment in Manhattan.

The total house would be 6-7mil

Just depends on the area I suppose.

That was closer to what I had remembered.

Yep. Thats a long time ago ;)

This just doesnt sound right. The infrastructure can't currently support salaries like that.

Much better salary than I remember. I take my statement back, although I think it was correct a couple years ago :D

No I realize that as well.
