Cost of living is weird, since it ignores the fact that shopping on Amazon costs the same everywhere. I imagine it'd result in feeling like physical goods are incredibly cheap vs anything that requires local labor (restaurants, private schools, construction, medical, etc).

Buying a big TV or a new iphone would be a lower % of total salary since those wouldn't scale w/ the location. And then you'd turn around and pay $20 for a cocktail. But what do I know, I live middle of the country :)
