Yeah, it's expensive. Any city that's appealing to live in, has a lot of money sloshing around, and has limited housing is going to be expensive. You use what money you have to compete for housing so you can enjoy the amenities the city offers.
Lists of cities by their cost of living index typically put Swiss cities at the top. New York is #1 in the US, narrowly ahead of Honolulu, San Francisco, and Seattle. (https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/rankings.jsp)
