thanks for the explanation but I was talking about the other part of the quote: "The fact that a dollar is worth the same in Los Angeles as it is in New York, or Vancouver as it is in Halifax, is worth celebrating." It just isn't.

  if you can buy less of the same thing with the same dollar, is it really worth the same in different areas? (no)

    But if both people buy an item from the same vendor (say, an online store that services both areas), then obviously they would pay the same amount. The differences in price you are describing are not changes in the value of the dollar but changes in the cost of producing and providing goods.

A dollar is worth one dollar, literally by definition, set by the US government.
