I can't relate to this at all. I'd argue that the quality of life is actually much higher here. Even with longer work hours.
Sure rental prices suck, but to name a few things:
* Weather is amazing.
* Wages are higher than anywhere else for my profession.
* The quality of food/produce is better than anywhere else I've lived, year-round.
* Within a 4-hour driving radius, I can be skiing, surfing, hiking or tasting world-class wine.
* Easy to meet up with like-minded people.
