I totally get this. This is also personal to me, in that I personally moved out of CA to NV because of the cost of living. If it was just as cheap to live in CA, I would live there, with my friends. I get that this can be an emotional issue, but while economics may be callous, so is the harshness of reality. The same could be said for the cost of health care, and other rising costs that people are struggling to pay. But denial doesn't help either. In the end, you end up racking up a lot of debt, then you move/declare bankruptcy/become homeless anyway. In the end, I find facing the facts, and acting on them a much more reliable strategy for success. I feel too many people think they are "entitled" to these things, instead of taking reasonable actions to improve their situation.
