Why so much?

Why is everything in Zurich so expensive? It makes London seem cheap. For example (1 CHF equals about $1.02 USD):

• 33 cl of Coke = 5 CHF

• Egg McMuffin = 5.10 CHF

• 1/2 L bottle of water at dinner = 8.90 CHF

• Tall coffee at Starbucks = 6.90 CHF

• Entree at mid-level Thai restaurant = 27 CHF

• Jeans at department store = 698 CHF

More than $5 for a bottle of Coke? The only good thing is wine is cheap. At dinner last night wine was literally cheaper than water.

Yikes, how do people afford to live here?
