California is not such a good example.

Eri — 4/6/2011 3:06:53 AM (archived)

It costs a helluva lot to live there. Probably twice as much as in the Midwest.

A house like mine that is now worth maybe $90,000 (it's almost doubled in value in the last 15 years) would go for a lot more money in California. TB could probably speak to that better than me. I've seen evidence on HGTV's House Hunters of how pricey California is. 2 BR, 1 Ba, 936 Sq. Ft. WBFP, 1-car garage attached. 70 X 126 fenced yard with shed. Backs up to a wooded park with soccer field & tennis courts. 3rd BR was merged into the LR. All appliances. On a dead-end street. So how much would that go for, in California, TB?

Damn, I just looked at my description and thought, "When can I move in?" I'm damned lucky. My friends were jealous when I found this place.
