Obviously you haven't grasped the fact of "cost of living". Guess what? McDonalds food cost more in New York than it does North Carolina. So does housing and many other things.

Massachusetts average cost of home: $520,179

North Carolina average cost of home: $280,913


More than double.


They have the second highest income (per person) average in the United States.

So would you rather buy something that takes up 20% of your income or 36% of your income? Basic math.

520,179 is not more than double of 280,913. But your point remains.
