Compare Virginia with California. This chart is specifically for EC2, but I believe the trend extends to other resources. The difference are larger when you start looking outside the US. And, if you weren’t aware, AWS also offers reserve and spot EC2 instances for savings relative to on-demand instances.

N. California as a region can’t grow and it’s priced accordingly. Instead, compare US East (Ohio) or US West (Oregon) for a region that’s price competitive. A lot of Amazon internal stuff was starting to move to US East (Ohio) because it was geographically close, but a lot less problematic.
