Check DAYTON, Ohio. Cheap housing to buy or rent but NO good jobs. 60- Minutes did a good documentary last week.
Anyone else see it?
I have always moved in the opposite direction, from Eastern Pennsylvania to New Jersey to Manhattan, progressively higher COL...but I have always played an angle with housing.
You already stated that if a place is a certain amount in rent, it must be in a ghetto. Now you're getting into twisting words. Whatever floats your boat, but this doesn't really make for an interesting discussion.
7th Floor nailed it when he gave me feedback about my post. He predicted responses like yours.
I don't get it -- no one is trying to convince anyone to leave NYC, we're just giving facts and examples. Not sure why it's so hard to understand.
Exactly, I'm not trying to convince people to leave.

Cincinatti is pretty affordable too and is pretty happening. I could be a bartender there.
It's not that there's no demand, it's just that there's not an extreme demand to live there like in NYC. That does not mean those places are bad.
And the bad parts of NYC are more expensive than nice neighborhoods in most other US cities.
Nowhere in the US worth living for under $800 a month, not for an urban person used to comfortable living standards like a dishwasher, elevator, AC, and bedroom walls.

Elevators and central air are not even the norm for NYC. The oeverwhelming majority of buildings in my neighborhood are 2-4 stories tall, thus no elevators.
When I leave NYC, it will be to a rural area where my nearest neighbor is hopefully out of sight. A place where I can hunt and shoot (and maybe even fish) on the property that I own.
