Ralph Emphasizes and wonders...Obviously Cities like Boston WILL be high priced.Heres a phenomenon I am experiencing:Portland,Oregon.I guarantee you that housing costs are nearly as high as in cities like Boston,Chicago and NY.Because of a thing they have out here called an urban growth boundry.In the big picture its fantastic.There is no sprawl.But for a bluecollar worker like farfromhome it means being condemned to a life of apartments.Apartment living sucks.I'd rather be ...never mind.
Just so you know where I'm coming from.My three acres in Livingston County cost me 34k back in '84.Its almost paid for.Depending on how the divorce plays out,I will always have a place to call home.And its as pretty as homes costing $300,000 here.
