I think costs of living is always relative and we should only compare the costs of living in a certain city with the average costs of this specific country, not with our personal income or the whole world.
For a person from the U.S., cities like Bangkok may have very low costs of living, whereas an average Thai citizien would come to another result. For people from Norway, cities in the U.S. appear to be very cheap.
Cities like Moscow, Paris, London or New York are very expensive compared to the countrywide average, however they also have to offer a lot. Cities like Berlin, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, usw. are not as expensive. However, it would not make any sense to say "Bangkok is cheaper than New York, therefore it has a higher quality of living".

"Caveat emptor": just met a Canadian guy (in the contractor business in Quebec) who told me that Canada's population nowadays is closer to 40 million, due mainly to high foreign immigration.

Yea, estimates say about 34 million for 2011, though this still translates to a huge per capita inclusion for Canadian cities.
