I think labor is somewhat cheaper. That isn't the only reason, but union labor in NYC earns some of the highest wages on the planet. I think people would be shocked what certain union jobs pay.
If you stay an a NYC hotel with union rules (which would be most hotels), the people cleaning your room are making salaries higher than many of the guests. In LA the people cleaning your rooms are undocumented immigrants making minimum wage.
NYC is still a union town, and unions in NYC deliver serious wages/benefits.
