High prices when there is plenty.
Why don’t things that are commonplace in some areas cost less for nearby residents?
For example, in West Texas where there are hundreds of oil and gas wells, the price for gas at the pump was often higher or at least the same as the rest of the country.
Or having to pay high utility bills when there is a nuclear power plant near your town.
Or having to pay the same price for paper products or lumber when there are forests all around you.
Can you think of more examples? How about examples of things that do cost less?
