Fair enough... I don't think it's winnable without a comprehensive market basket analysis that neither of us have time for anyway. And when it comes down to it, the cost of living is primarily driven by supply and demand which varies more between local regions than states. Go to Modesto CA and it won't be much more expensive than Waco TX. But go to San Francisco and it's a whole different thing... mostly because of the demand created by the very wealthy people that live there... Oh, and if you're hitting the tourist spots like most visitors to California do... forget it. ;)
I have yet to see a regulation shut down an entire industry and that's probably because for every company that can't rise to the challenge, there is another one that can. As long as there is a demand, there will be an entrepreneur that is innovative and adaptable enough to meet the challenge and make business happen.

Regulation's don't shut down an industry, they just move to China, so lots of jobs end.

Regulations don't shut down an industry.. they just limit competition to a handful of large companies that have the time and resources to comply with government requirements and restrictions. Small independent startups and community businesses can't even get started today without deep pockets and months or years of time before they can even earn their first dollar.

Not so much, GE a huge corp. moved most of it's infrastructure to China like the Cat Scan units.
GM builds lots of Buicks in China.
There are two forces causing this, the government's Regulations and UNIONS. To build cars in America GM
had to pay it's line people which included health care and other things $60.00 an hour. This added about $3000 to every car.
So you can see why a 1969 car cost $2,700.00 and a 2019 car costs $40,000+
