[quote=Anonymous]The fact that you think halving the housing cost isn't "that much cheaper" just means you make enough to live in a HCOL city. I could live here or in a cheaper city on my salary. The same cannot be said of many people who live in LCOL areas - they can't just up stakes and hack it in a HCOL area because literally doubling their mortgage is not negligible. Housing is a much bigger slice (pun intended) of middle/lower income people's monthly budget than Pizza Hut. HCOL doesn't mean no one can live here. It means it's very difficult for people with median and below HHIs to live here.[/quote]
