True, but I'm from Austin Texas and just moved to San Francisco, so I have some insight into this. I'm not sure if there's as big of a demand for laundry pickup services outside of dense urban areas like New York and San Francisco (where many residents do not have in-home washers and dryers). In Austin, most people have laundry machines, so it might not make sense there. For crowd-sourced apps more generally I think you have a valid point with respect to cost of living adjustments.
