Well, this is the logical outcome of the theory of competitive advantage. Why should it be economic for anyone to live outside the most temperate areas? They will always have an advantage.

Of course you can use isolation instead of heating. There are some houses built in Sweden that does not require heating at all. They get enough from body heat and excess heat from appliances.

Still I guess it would be better to live were neither heating nor isolation is required, from a strictly economic wievpoint. But then you can not enjoy a winter day with beuatiful snow everywere. Guess I should head out and enjoy it instead of commenting about it. :)
