Depends on the area, I'd imagine - I'm in Salt Lake City, which is
pretty damn cheap. It's also infested with Mormons. The only thing
that would possibly keep me here (if I had the means to leave, which I
don't right now) is all my friends. The high cost of living probably
coincides with a high quality of living, at least for those
willing/able to pay for it. I'd much rather be living in a tiny studio
and eating ramen in San Francisco or Seattle than being middle class
in some town in the midwest, or even one of the less expensive cities.
