Yeah living in the SF Bay Area, I never get sticker shock when traveling. Not in New York, London, Paris, or anywhere else I have been (except maybe Switzerland).
When I lived in Texas in 1976 a guy I worked with remarked to me when I told him I was from California: "Prices there are higher than a geese's pussy."
I got a chuckle out that phrase, buy he was right about the cost of living at the time. I found things like food, shelter and gasoline were cheaper in 1976 Texas. Of course, doing the same kind of work for less pay was also the norm. It might even be the same today.
After my experience in Lubbock, I'd gladly pay the extra expense, though. It only took me a few weeks to figure out Texas was not a good fit for me and as soon I made enough dough, I was on a bus back home.
So drink all my wine, cut all my trees
Make love on my beaches, smoke all my weed
I am California, can't you see?
Wherever you roam, you'll always want me
Yeah, dig all my gold, soak in my springs
Conquer my mountains if that's what you need
I am California, can't you see?
Wherever you roam, you'll always want me
