Cost of groceries and cost of housing don't always relate that way.
Example: My friend and I both live around Boston, I live in a wealthy area near a university, while he lives a few miles away in a much poorer area. The closest grocery to me is an organic grocery, where milk is $4.50 a gallon, but I do most my shopping there because it's only a 10 minute walk. My friend's closest grocery is a discount store where milk is $2.50 a gallon, but it's a 30 minute walk each way and involves crossing a highway. So instead he buys most groceries at the bodega around the block, where milk is $5.50 a gallon, and there aren't any fresh vegetables or meat.
This is especially true during the winter, when it majorly sucks for him to haul groceries around in the snow.
