It's the old "cost " versus "value" equation - it's not what it costs, it's what it costs to move up the ladder, and the value-add of the environment (leafy suburb, good transport links, only 20 minutes to work, etc etc).
I was only joking about the south vs north - I have lived and worked in both areas, and both have good and bad points (I loved living near Alton in Hampshire, and was looking to live near the New Forest if I had stayed down there).
