Why is food so expensive at some airports and less at others??

I have been noticing that food at East Coast airports is better priced than food at west coast airports. WHY?

The food is well priced at IAD, DCA, BWI, PHL, EWR, JFK etc..

The food is overpiced at LAX, LAS (starbucks), SEA. And way overpriced at SFO.

I think that most of the airports should try to monitor what these places are charging its pax and make sure it does not get out of hand.

Like $3 for a cup of starbucks coffee at LAS or $8.50 for a combo at McD LAX.

They monitor the prices at IAD and DCA and I feel that the food is well priced there.

What do you think?
