Back to my example, the are my brother was in was over inflated because of it being close to campus and being pushed up by the demand from the university. By moving 5-10 miles further away he was able to drop his rent by hundreds a month. This isn't just true there it applies in many places, but that was just a recent example I have been dealing with.

Then you have more transportation costs.

If you are in an area with bad public transportation then you have to invest in your own.

Right back where you started.
