So a small house in the bay area will be the same as a mansion in Alabama. But you get amazing people around you, amazing food, high quality services of any kind driven by competition. You get amazing weather. You get some of the finest schools in the country for your kids. You can trust that your kids are growing up with other good kids. You also don't deal with alligators, pests, mosquitos. Don't deal with tornados, thunderstorms, hurricanes. If ur not well off you'll get plenty of welfare services available to you in California.

From afar it seems stupid that'd you'd live in California if the cost of living is that high. But once you're here, you realize why it's so amazing and you understand why the price difference exists.

Of course in any capitalistic economy, not everything is priced accurately or fairly. So if someone posts a 2 million dollar shack in SF it's meaningless. I'm talking about averages.
