I claim that there only has to be at least one so-called discretionary thing priced differentially based on housing/CoL to make living in the lower cost area more financially optimal. It's easy to show there exists at least one; in fact, there are many.

Why's that? And why doesn't the reverse hold true? I can think of many things that are usually more expensive in lower-cost areas than in higher-cost areas.
