I was in New York, and the wife and I were looking at houses for sale in a Manhattan real estate window for a bit of fun, and the prices looked pretty reasonable to us  Seriously, Perth house prices are insane. A 4 bedroom house on a small block of land, in a decent suburb costs a million dollars. That's just for a decent suburb - for the top end suburbs on the coast or the ones that feed in to the best schools, in those places a million dollars might buy you 3 bedroom, one living space house at best.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

Prices in Toronto are getting pretty high too. Houses in the outskirts of the city will run about $400-500K. Rent will run around $1000 per month for a 1 bedroom in most areas.
Although here a cashier at McDonalds wage is $11 per hour, which is decent compared to what some of you have mentioned about your regions.
I feel quite fortunate to be in my situation.

A lot of interesting data on there. Granted the numbers are 4 years old, but I can tell you that Orange County has not gotten any cheaper in that time.
And regardless of housing costs, minimum wage here is $8/ hr.
The average 1 bedroom apartment in my area is $1300/mo. Which assuming 12% in taxes, would take 185 hours to earn at minimum wage.
