You probably pay more for housing, food, auto insurance, etc in a more urban area too, based on free market prices. I guess that's the price we pay for choosing to live where we've got all the conveniences.
Actually, some of that is cheaper here than other places in Texas...
But, I do not think that the surcharge is close to 40% (except for maybe auto where there are more accidents than in the country)....
