<prompt> Human: highest Ive only ever lived in the midwest.Lets say I make 50k and my cost of living is whatever. Now lets say I want to move somewhere that the cost of living is doubled... i.e. California.Isnt it a far better option to live there vs a low cost of living area if my salary would also double? It seems that while all my local expenses mortgage, gas, food would go up... my other expenses fancy car, big tv would be a smaller portion of my income now since they cost the same everywhere.Edit: if its not a 1:1 scale from Ohio to NYC or California... is it for say Ann Arbor MI expensive tech hub in Michigan to Rural Kentucky?  <response>: Consider state taxes as well.
