So I’m looking at monthly living expenses of $1200 in NYC, $1250 in Berkeley, and $1100 in Northampton. Which means I realistically only accrue savings if I live in Northampton or get a different job or more students.

My experience with budgeting my life suggests that your margin of calculational error will swamp the given differences.

That may be true for NYC and Berkeley, but in the case of Northampton I'm already discovering that I'll have more money than I previously thought.
