I don't see why that is as the extra infrastructure will come with more tax revenue. For example, Dallas-Forth-Worth and the Houston metro populations are the 4th and 5th largest in the US and have each grown a estimated 19% in the past decade [0] and yet their cost of living still sits right at the national average [1, 2].
